Zip files are compressed archives containing documents, images, folders, basically any type of files on your computer. We create them to save space and make them more practical for sending via email or file sharing services.
If on your Windows 7 computer opening programs, saving documents, browsing the Internet and other every day tasks are getting slower, this is how you speed up things without installing an additional program.
If you can't copy files that are bigger than 2 or 4 GB, usually HD movies and such, on to your USB key, it's usually due to the file system the USB key is formatted to.
Neat little trick to force the preview images of running programs in Windows 7 taskbar or a so called Aero Peek, to show instantly with no delay at all.
