Winzip allows you to zip a collection of files into a single zipped file, which can be easily saved to a disk or uploaded to a server. (This works especially well for uploading content to Illinois Compass.)
There are a number tools that can be used to zip/unzip files; for this purpose we will use a free program called WinZip. University faculty, staff, and students can obtain WinZip for $5.00 through the CITES Software WebStore.
WinZip has two interfaces; we will focus on the Classic interface.
Select the files to be zipped (Ctrl + mouse click to select multiple files at once), then right click on the selected file(s) and choose Add to Zip.
Name the zipped file. If this is your first time zipping files, you can just ignore the other options and click Add.
Double click on the zipped files; this will open the WinZip program windows in the Classic interface. (If it opens in Wizard interface, click the button WinZip Classic to go to the Classic interface.)
Click Extract.
Select the folder to which the files should be extracted, choose All files > Extract.
Note: If you don't want to extract all of the files that have been zipped, you can select only those files that you want to extract by right-clicking on each one and clicking Extract. Then, in the extract window, choose Selected files (rather than All files).
