Downloading Project Files

Using windows 7, how do i go about downloading the project files? I am confused on how to save the zip files and how to properly save them for use. Thanks for the help.

After you've downloaded the zip file, you simply need to "unzip" the file by right-clicking on it and selecting "Extract All". At that point, Windows Explorer should pop up allowing you to store those "unzipped" files where you want them to go.

I like to store all my treehouse stuff on the Desktop because it's really easy to link to documents from there. I create a separate folder for each project. Hope this helps!

when i go to extract the file a window always pops up saying are you sure you want to copy this file without encryption. do you know what that is about by chance?
