Zipping and Compressing Folders (Windows 10)
To create a zip folder, right Click your main folder and select Send To… -> Compressed (zipped) folder.
A compressed folder with a .zip extension has now been created.
NOTE: If a message from Windows asking to designate Compressed (zipped) Folders to handle all .zip files, select Yes.
To open a .zip folder just double click it with the left mouse button. It acts just like a normal windows folder.
