WinZip up a group of photographs
Let's assume you want to send several digital photos of your weekend to your friends.
- Locate the files you want to 'zip'.
- Holding your right-mouse button down click on a space outside the photos and drag over them to select them. They should be dark blue to show they are selected.
- Right-click your mouse and select Winzip / Add to Zip File. See diagram below:
- From the Add menu insert a file name of your choice.
- Now click on Add.
- The files will now be added to the zip file - close it down.
From within the folder where you selected your files you will see your zip file.
Send this file to your friends!
