i sent someone a zip file to download from DropBox. she said she can't open it. i have asked her what computer/operating system she uses but i suspect windows.
i'm so mac centric. in the windows world is there any thing more complicated than double-clicking the file involved to uncompress a file?

Windows (since XP) has unzip capability built-in, but IIRC, it may not be that intuitive.
Better to right-click for UnZip options than double-click, as double-clicking opens the archive without unzipping it.

might be opening (or trying to )with the wrong program
right click ( option - rightclick ? ) to invoke a open with options and pick winzip ( or whatever) and there should be a tick box or option to always use this.

she's obviously not a friend; friends don't let friends use windows...
