Step 1
However, in order to take full advantage of all the capabilities of archives, it is necessary to master the most basic techniques for working with them. These include opening an archive, unzipping an archive file, and so on. In addition, to work with them, the standard tools of the Windows operating system are not enough for you, and therefore use the most widespread, reliable and high-quality archiver today - the WinRAR program. First, you need to run the WinRAR program. To do this, double-click on the program icon on the desktop, or make a single click in the list of installed programs in the Start menu.
Step 2
Find and open the desired archive. To do this, you can use the keyboard shortcut "Ctrl + O". Or, using the horizontal menu, select first "File" and then "Open archive". Then find the archive on your hard disk and click on the "Open" button.
Step 3
Select the menu item "Extract to specified folder". All contents of the selected archive will be unpacked if you select the "Commands" menu item, and in the list that appears: "Extract to the specified folder". Note: for convenience and simplicity of work in the program, you can use the hotkey combination "Ctrl + E", after selecting the desired archive for unpacking.
Step 4
After completing the actions described in step 3, a window will appear on the screen in which the system will offer to select the path and extraction parameters. Here, on the right side of the window that appears, you must specify the path where the unzipped files will be located. Note: here you can also change some unpacking parameters.
Step 5
After the path is selected, click on the "Ok" button. Your files are now successfully decompressed.
