Vista - unziping applications

Hi some times i see small applications , say one i saw recently Thumbnail Sizer , but they often come in a zip file but i don't know what to do with the files when i have them
can any body help me you will no doubt realise i have little knowledge of computers
Ave's Vista Apps this was the website i found the application

Cheers Dave

Hi Dave,

The ZIP file that you downloaded is just a compressed folder that the installation files for the program are in. To install the program, right click on the ZIP file and click "Open". Select all of the files inside the ZIP folder and "Extract" them all to the desktop. Now you can click on the Setup/Install EXE file to install the program. Afterwards, you can delete the extracted files and ZIP file. You may also want to save the ZIP file somewhere as a backup if you wish to reinstall the program again instead of having to download it again.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Thank's for the quick reply . sometimes it says "dill" or system32 are these things i should be messing about with

Cheers Dave

Dave,

The Setup/Install file should be the EXE application. The .dll and system32 files are just files used by the program.

Sorry to be a pain this is what i get when they're extracted

1 - UNWISE that say's trayhook

2 - Notepad with a wheel on the icon this say's defaults

3 - one say's skins

4 - and one as you said has setup on it

what do i do with 1> 2> and 3

Cheers dave

No problem Dave,

You just need to extract all the files in the ZIP folder to the same location (Desktop), and run the Setup program to install the program. The Setup program uses these files (1 & 2) to install the program.

You can safely delete these extracted files after the program is installed.

Thanks for your help

Regards Dave

Your welcome Dave.
