So, to be safe, it would be better to "copy", in this way, rather than "cut", in case you lose something along the way. Correct?

Here's more of an explanation to my previous post: From: Gene Let's take an example, which is easier to deal with than an explanation without one. Let's say you have a zip file named New Testament.zip. Press enter on the zip file. It opens and you see a folder named New Testament. Let's say you want to extract the contents of the folder and keep it in a folder of the same name. Select the foldername and copy it to the clipboard as though you were copying an ordinary folder. Then leave the window opened and open the drive or wherever you want the folder to be. Paste as though you were pasting an ordinary folder. The folder will be copied and all of it's contents will be in the folder. If you have the Windows zip utility on your computer and it is working properly, this procedure will work. Gene From: Joseph FreeTech Keep in mind that Gene's basic Windows procedure will not work for .rar files, .7z files, or any compression method other than zip. Joseph the free tech guy! From: Gene That's because the microsoft zip utility only works with zip files. It also won't work if you have associated another unarchive program like 7zip or winzip to open when you press enter on a zip file. By default, the Windows zip utility opens. If you change this, other programs don't have this copy and paste option. Gene Take care. Mike This email was sent from my, iBarstool.

If you press enter on a zipped file, copy the contents, & paste them into a folder of the same name somewhere else, it'll work just as you had unzipped the file. Take care.

Pressing Enter on a zip file usually does not unzip the file. it only opens it so you can see the contents of the file. To actually unzip the file, one must press the Applications key, arrow to Extract All, follow the dialogue boxes, and wait for the file to be extracted.
