This should about cover it: set up a folder for your downloads. when you dl the first zip point it to that folder in the dl dialog menu and it should point your other dls to that folder. (picts and documents you'll have to "point to" seperately.) to save as a zip file select what you want to zip and while your mouse is over the selection right click and select from the menu move to: compressed file. to check the contents without extracting them rightclick the zip and select open. to unzip contents of a zip file right click on the zip file and select extract. winrar is useful if the person you want to send zips to also has the utility, or are archiving for your own use.
