The unzip utility is built-in, so you can't find it to open it. When you right-click on your .zip file you should see "extract all" option in the pop up menu. If you don't see that option somehow the .zip file association has gotten lost. There is a file that will fix this. It's a tiny file that will re-register the .zip file association in Vista. I'll try to attach the file to this email - but I'm not sure Yahoo Groups will allow attachments. If not I can send it to your personal address if you want... snowyowl5...@yahoo.com ? Don't double click the file. To run it you should right-click it and choose MERGE from the popup menu. Hopefully this will work.
