This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

That’s partially fault of IT isn’t it. They didn’t set the computer up with an unzipper.

Unless they are on a super old ass version of Windows: Zip and Unzip functionality is built directly into the OS. They would open like any other folder.

Microsoft also just announced not too long ago that native .rar file support is being added.

Windows supports zip files natively

Depends on what was in the .zip. The default double click action for .zip files is usually to display the contents, not to unzip it, and if you try to run an executable from that display it usually won't work.

They may have also tried to load the .zip directly into another program.
