The Unzip tab provides the actions and their options available when you have opened a Zip file in the WinZip user interface. The features in this tab are listed by section and described below the picture.

Unzip to

• Same Folder as Zip: When you click this button, a folder will be created in the same location as your Zip file and all the files from the Zip file will be unzipped into it.
• Documents: This button unzips to a folder having the same name as the Zip file as the one above, but always puts that folder in the Documents folder. There is a drop-down menu item that allows you to choose a different folder, which can also change the name of the button.
• Last Folder Used to Unzip: This button is only active after you have selected a particular folder to unzip files to in a previous session. You then can use it to unzip directly into that folder again.
• My PC or Cloud: If you want to browse to a specific folder that you will use for the files you are unzipping, this is the button to click.
