minus-squaremumblerfish@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 months agoI got that from the other answers. I was just very confused why I’d have to rename them to “.zip”. I still don’t get why it is “most” files.
minus-squarecron@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up7·2 months agoI don’t think “most” applies here. Text-based files, pdf, media files and most executeable files are not .zip.
minus-squarestoy@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down1·2 months agoYou don’t have to rename them, doing so would just make windows default to using the builtin zip extractor. If you have 7-zip you can just right click the file you wan to explore and try to extract it.
