You would have the zip file where you downloaded it, then unzip it and move the unzipped file from there to the windows directory.

Hello everyone, I have a few questions about this timezone editor program. It says unzip the file into your windows directory, does that mean I would move the file into the directory and then unzip it, or would I unzip it first before I move it? Also, where is the windows directory? I have never had to go in there, so I don't know how to get to it. Thanks in advance to anyone who can answer my questions!
