Windows Security Question

Hi,

Compress and uncompress files (zip files)
Compressed files take up less storage space and can be transferred to other computers more quickly than uncompressed files. You can work with compressed files and folders in the same way that you work with uncompressed files and folders. You can also combine several files into a single compressed folder. This makes it easier to share a group of files.

Thanks but does not help if Windows will not let you access the file in the first place. I had already gotten to that page. Sadly reminds me of a (very) old joke about Microsoft technical advice being completely accurate and totally unhelpful.
