There are ways to Extract it.

• In some circumstances you can just right click and an "extract here" dialog will appear.
• If "extract here" doesn't show up, you have to use "Open With" then select your File Archiver to open.

• For beginners, save the compressed file and the JPG photo on the root folder (Drive C:) so you won't get lost inside the CMD.
