Windows 10 supports zip natively, which means that you can just double-click the zipped folder to access its content — and open files. However, you always want to extract all the compressed files before using them.

If you don't unzip the files, you won't be able to edit and save the new content in the same document, and if you're trying to install or use a piece of software, the software won’t function properly and in most cases the installation process won't start.

There are at least three ways to extract files from a zipped folder:

To extract all the files from a zipped folder, do the following:

Right-click the compressed (zipped) folder.
Select Extract All from the context menu.

By default, the compressed files will extract in the same location as the zipped folder, but you can click the Browse button to select an alternative location.
Check the Show extracted files when complete option.

Click Extract.

To extract all or individual files from a zipped folder, do the following:

Double-click the compressed (zipped) folder.
Select the file or files you want to extract.
Right-click your selection and click Cut.

Navigate to the location where you want to save the unzipped files.
Right-click and select Paste.

Inside the zipped folder, you can:

Select the items you want to extract
On the Extract tab, select the location where you want to save the extracted files

If the location isn't listed, click the More button, and then click the Choose location button to find the correct folder.

The search engine uses Javascript to operate. You must have Java installed for this product to function. To download Java:

Go to http://java.com/download/
There are instructions there to install Java on your system.
You may need to restart your computer.

This product is enhanced with a powerful Javascript search engine. All papers have been fully indexed and upon submission of a word or word will be searched for the occurence of that word or words.

The search engine may offer more than one search field. The uppermost field is a generic search and will search all documents in full for the submitted word or words. If other fields appear such as "Title" or "Author," the search may be refined to seek the submitted word(s) in only the field selected.

For example, a search by an author's last name in the generic field will return all references to the name as an author of a paper, wherever the name may be used within the body of a paper, and wherever it may appear in the references section. However, if the author's last name is used in the Author field only, the the search results will only be article's this author has contributed to for this conference.

Filling in words in multiple fields will return documents that find each entered word to be true. For example, a word in the general search field and a word in the Title filed will return documents that have BOTH the general search word within the document AND the Title word in the title.

Wildcard Searches

You can use wildcard characters '*' and '?' in your search terms to search for multiple words and return larger set of results. An asterisk character ('*') in a search term represents any number of characters, while a question mark ('?') represents any single character.This allows you to perform advanced searches such as "zoom*" which would return all pages containing words beginning with "zoom". Similarly, "z??m" would return all pages containing four letter words beginning with 'z' and ending with 'm'. Also, "*car*" would be a search for any words containing the word "car".

Exclusion/negative searches

You can precede a search term with a hyphen character to exclude that search term from being included in your search results. For example, a search for "cat -dog" would return all pages containing the word "cat" but not the word "dog".

Search Results

Search results are listed based on the result's relevant score. The score is derived from matching the words submitted to their placement within the relevant documents. For example, words appearing in titles or keywords receive higher weighting than those found in the general content of the article.

Search Troubleshooting

It may take some time to display your search results depending on:

Your computer platform
Macintosh users may have to wait up to 30 seconds for your search results to appear. This is due to the functionality of Apple's Java on the Macintosh.
Number of search results returned
It will take longer to search if you search for a common word.
The more specific your search terms, the fewer documents will result.

If you see the "Retrieving Search Results" screen, but never get any search results.
