How to unzip and open your zipped folders that are found on your Scrap Girls CD delivery order.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Put your CD into your computer that contains your Scrap Girls digital scrapbooking supplies.

You will see a Window pop up that shows you the contents of your CD. If this does not occur, you are running an older version of Windows. To get to the contents of your CD do this:

Locate the "My Computer" icon on your desktop. Double-click on it.

You will see a window open that shows you all of your hard drives and disk drives, including your CD and DVD drives. As you can see, I have a lot of things!
Double-click on the drive that has your CD in it. The label of the CD will always start with "SG".
You will then see the window open that shows you the contents of your CD.

Because the files are zipped (you can tell because they have the little zipper around them), you will have to move them onto your computer to unzip them (unpack them) so that you can use them. Here's how to do that:

Create a folder inside of "My Documents" with a name that you will remember. In this case I have named my folder "Scrap Girls Club October 2005," because that is what is on this particular CD.

Then resize both your CD contents window and your prepared folder window (it will be empty at this point) so that you can see them both.
Select all of the zipped files on your CD by clicking on the first one, holding down your Shift key, and then clicking on the last one. They will be highlighted when they are all selected.
Holding your mouse down (making sure that they are all still highlighted), drag them over to your empty, prepared window.

You will see a dialogue box pop up that tells you that your computer is copying the contents of the CD onto your computer. It might take a few minutes to copy over, depending upon how fast your computer runs. This is normal. Just wait until the dialogue box goes away and you hear your CD player stop working. That's how you know it is finished.
Close down the CD window and remove the CD. File it in a safe place where it won't get scratched or damaged. I use a CD padded zipped folder that I got at an office supply store.

Right-click on one of the folders and choose "Extract All" from the pop-up menu. You will then see this dialogue appear. Choose "Next" to continue the process.

You will then see this dialogue box. You COULD browse to have your folder unzip to a different location, but I don't recommend that. Just choose "Next" and continue. This will allow the unzipped folder to land in the same folder you are working in and it will be easy to find that way.

You will then see this dialogue box. Choose "Finish."

A window that has your unzipped product will pop up. You can browse into that file and look at the contents now, if you wish. This is actually when I choose to file my scrapbooking products in my working scrapbooking folders. See HERE for more information about how to develop a scrapbooking filing system.

If you look at your original window, you will see that you now have your same zipped folder AND an unzipped folder. Keep unzipping the rest of your folders until they are all unzipped. File them in your scrapbooking file folders as you go along. It is easier that way.
