minus-square@mumblerfish@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink2•10 hours 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-square@stoy@lemmy.ziplinkfedilink1•1 hour 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.
minus-square@cron@feddit.orglinkfedilink7•10 hours agoI don’t think “most” applies here. Text-based files, pdf, media files and most executeable files are not .zip.
