Open or unzip an archive file
With Total Zip, you have two easy ways to open or extract archive files. The first method is to locate the archive file in Windows Explorer, right-click on it, select “Open with…”, and then choose Total Zip from the list of available programs. Alternatively, you can launch Total Zip and use the “Browse for File” button located next to the “Folder Path” control to locate the archive file.
Once the archive file is selected and opened, Total Zip will display the complete contents of the archive in the “File List” area, as shown in the example below. From here, you can easily select the files and folders you want to extract, and then click on the “Extract” button to save them to your desired location.
