The WinZip window is where you start many of your operations. You can open it through the Start menu. The WinZip window also opens automatically if you double click on an archive in My Computer or Windows Explorer.

The WinZip window includes standard Windows components. Of particular interest:

The Title Bar displays not just the WinZip product title, but the name of the archive you are currently working with. The Toolbar provides quick ways of performing the most common tasks. The Main Window Area displays information about the files in the archive, and you'll find as we get further into this Tutorial that many operations can be done directly with these files. Finally, the Status Line displays the number and sizes of currently selected files, along with other archive information.
