Difficulty importing HTML Files and StyleSheets to Notepad++

Hello, I am using Notepad++ as a text editor. When I use 7zip to unzip the HTML/CSS files for each lesson, I cannot easily import them into the text editor.

After unzipped, I cannot copy, move or save the files to the directory folder I created for these files, I get a pop-up saying "operation failed." The only place it will save the files is to my 'downloads' folder.

Can someone please describe an easier way of unzipping/saving and accessing files quickly through Notepad++?

Thank you.

Hi Will,

Are you using Windows? If so, you could just go with the default way it extracts zip files. I have experienced similar issues in WinZip and other softwares, and this has always helped me.

By right clicking on an archive you can select to extract it to any specified location, or you can open it by double-clicking on it, and copy the contents of the archive.

Hope this helps!

Yes, I just extracted them to a different folder. Thank you.

For some reason when I tried to extract them to a particular folder I got an error saying you need admin permission to save here.

All good : )
