You will fill out this document on your own personal computer using information and screen shots from your virtual machine. INTRODUCTION: If your drive is getting low on space, you can compress files and folders. You can make the file system apply compression automatically. Or, you can add folders and files to ZIP archives. ZIP archives are single files containing many files within them. The files within the ZIP archive are compressed to save space. Compressed files are sometimes referred to as “Zipped files” or “ZIP files.” ZIP refers to a specific file format: the ZIP file format. There are many different types of compressed files, including 7zip, ZIPx, RAR, etc. In this lab, we will focus on ZIP files. This is because Windows can create and open ZIP files without the need for special software. While our focus is on ZIP files in this lab, the concepts we will cover also apply to other compression formats. PART 1: FILE SIZE 1. In File Explorer, open the Documents folder. 2. Right-click on the Module06 subfolder and select Properties. a. The properties dialog will show information about the folder: i. Size tells us how much data a file contains. Size on disk tells us how much space the file takes up on a disk. Normally these values match, or are very close; however, the values can differ if a file is compressed: 1. A book can contain 1,000,000 words (size), but if I print the book on a big enough piece of paper, I can use one single page to store the book (size on disk). a. Size: 1,000,000 words b. Size on disk: 1 page 2. Likewise, if I print one word per page, the book still contains 1,000,000 words (size), but now I’m using 1,000,000 pieces of paper to store the book (size on disk). a. Size: 1,000,000 words b. Size on disk: 1,000,000 pages Continues . . . INFO 1002: INTRODUCTION TO INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY 25 Question 6.3.1 What is the Size value for the Module06 folder? Careful, we’re looking for the Size value and not Size on disk! Question 6.3.2 What is the Size on disk value for the Module06 folder? PART 1: FILE COMPRESSION, PART 1 Let’s compress our files and see how that affects things. 1. Let’s create a copy of the Module06 folder. We’ll use our keyboard to do this. a. Select the Module06 folder. b. Hold down the CONTROL and C keys at the same time (CTRL+C), this will copy the file into the computer’s memory. c. Let’s paste the file. Click in the white space to deselect the Module06 folder. Then, hold down the CONTROL and V keys at the same time (CTRL+V). A new folder named Module06 – Copy should now appear in the Documents folder (Figure 14). Figure 14 Continues . . . INFO 1002: INTRODUCTION TO INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY 26 2. Let’s rename the Module06 – Copy folder to something different. We will also use a keyboard shortcut to help us do this. a. Select the Module06 – Copy folder. b. Press the F2 key on your keyboard to enter filename edit mode. i. NOTE: if you’re on a laptop, you may have to hold down the FN key to activate F2. c. Rename the Module06 – Copy folder to Module06_Lab6.3 (Figure 15). Figure 15 3. Now, let’s compress the new folder. 4. Right-click on the Module06_Lab6.3 folder. Then, select Properties. 5. In the Properties dialog, find and click the Advanced… button. 6. Check Compress contents to save disk space and click OK. 7. Click OK then click OK again. 8. Display the properties for the Module06_Lab6.3 folder. Question 6.3.3 What is the Size value for the Module06_Lab6.3 folder? Careful, we’re looking for the Size value and not Size on disk! Question 6.3.4 What is the Size on disk value for the Module06_Lab6.3 folder? Continues… INFO 1002: INTRODUCTION TO INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY 27 9. Make sure the properties dialog for the Module06_Lab6.3 folder is still open and visible (reopen the dialog if necessary). Then, display the properties for the Module06 folder Question 6.3.5 How does the Size value of the compressed Module06_Lab6.3 folder compare to the Size value of the uncompressed Module06 folder? Careful, we’re looking for the Size value and not Size on disk! Question 6.3.6 How does the Size on disk value of the compressed Module06_Lab6.3 folder compare to the Size on disk value of the uncompressed Module06 folder? 10. Close any open dialog boxes. PART 2: WORKING WITH ZIPPED FILES Microsoft Windows’ file system, NTFS, supports on-the-fly file compression. In Part 1 of this lab, we created a compressed folder. Windows compresses any files or folders added to the compressed folder. This is a great way of getting more space out of your disks. Compressed folders are great for local files. Compressed folders don't work once files leave our computer, though. If we want to send a large file over the Internet, a compressed folder won't make the file we're trying to send smaller. Compressed folders also don't help us when we want to bundle several files into a single file. Archive files, often called "ZIP" files, can help us bundle many files into a single package. They also, often support file compression, which lets us compress the data we are working with. Continues . . . INFO 1002: INTRODUCTION TO INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY 28 Creating an Archive Let’s start off by creating an archive. 1. If necessary, open the Documents folder in File Explorer. 2. Open the Module06 subfolder. 3. The Module06 folder contains several files within it including two text documents, and two images. 4. Navigate back to the Documents folder. Let’s assume we want to send a friend the files inside the Module06 folder. We could attach all of the files within the Module06 folder to an email, or we could create a single file. Let’s create a single file: 5. Right-click on the Module06 folder. Then, click Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder 6. This creates a new file called Module06 a. We now have two objects inside the Documents folder named Module06. Oh no! Not to fear, we can tell which file is the ZIP file by looking for the icon that shows a zipper on the folder and/or the text “Compressed (zipped) Folder” in the type column (Figure 16). Figure 16 b. Figure 17 shows a larger version of the icon with a zipper on the folder. The zipper means the file is a ZIP file/archive. Figure 17 Continues . . . INFO 1002: INTRODUCTION TO INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY 29 7. We now have a single file, which contains many files. We can send the single file to our friend, rather than many files. But, there’s more. 8. Display the properties for the Module06 folder. Then, display the properties for the Module06 ZIP file. The process of creating a ZIP file consolidated many files into a single file and, it also compressed the files, saving space! If you were emailing the files within the Module06 folder to a friend, creating a ZIP file would consolidate the files and make them smaller, which could save time and money if you or your friend were on a slow or costly service, such as satellite. 9. Take a screenshot clearly showing the open properties dialog for the Module06 folder and Module06.zip file. Paste the screenshot beneath the heading Screenshot 6.3.1 on the next page. Your screenshot must comply with the requirements outlined in the document titled Handout: Screenshot Requirements.

Often times, users may not realize they are working with an archive file. This can cause problems for Windows users. 10. Open the Edge browser by clicking on the Edge icon in the taskbar. 11. In Edge, click the Favorites icon 12. Click the Lab 6.3 folder, then click Lab 6.3: Exercise Files 13. When the page loads, right-click on the link titled Exercise Files.zip. Then, click Save link as (Figure 18) a. This will display the Save As dialog, which allows us to specify where we want to download our file to, rather than automatically downloading the file to the Downloads folder, which is the default behavior in most modern browsers. Figure 18 14. When the Save As dialog appears, navigate to the Documents folder. Then, click Save to download the Exercise Files.zip file to the Documents folder. Continues . . . INFO 1002: INTRODUCTION TO INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY 32 15. Close Edge. 16. If necessary, open the Documents folder in File Explorer. 17. Double-click on the Exercise Files.zip file. Note how Windows opens the ZIP file and displays its contents as though it were a folder (Figure 19). Figure 19 18. Before we proceed, it’s important to note Windows provides an important clue that we’re actually working with a ZIP file and not a folder. Note the pink tab with the text “Extract” visible at the top of the File Explorer window. 19. Double click on the Exercise Files folder within the open Exercise Files.zip file. Then, double-click on the Questionnaire.docx file to open it in LibreOffice Writer. a. NOTE: If prompted How do you want to open this file? select LibreOffice Writer. Then, click OK. 20. Notice how LibreOffice states the document is read-only (Figure 20). This is because we cannot edit files that are stored within ZIP files. Figure 20 Continues . . . INFO 1002: INTRODUCTION TO INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY 33 21. Let’s try to save this document. Click File. Note how Save is not available (Figure 21). Figure 21 22. Close the File menu and click the Save icon - we won’t let LibreOffice control us! 23. Note how LibreOffice doesn’t save the document. Rather, a drop down appears giving us options to Save As, Export, etc. 24. Close LibreOffice. Then, browse to the Documents folder in File Explorer. 25. We must extract an archive in order to edit the files stored within the archive. 26. Right-click the Exercise Files.zip file. Then, click Extract All… a. When the dialog appears, remove the check from Show extracted files when complete. Then, click Extract. 27. Once the extraction is complete, you will have an Exercise Files.zip file and an Exercise Files folder. 28. Open the Exercise Files folder. Then, open the Exercise Files folder within (if applicable). Finally, open the Questionnaire.docx file in LibreOffice. 29. Note the absence of the read-only indicators (Figure 20). 30. Fill out the questionnaire. Once the questionnaire has been filled out, take a screenshot clearly showing the questionnaire and your answers. The screenshot should not show the read-only indicators. Paste the screenshot beneath the heading Screenshot 6.3.2 on the next page. Your screenshot must comply with the requirements outlined in the document titled Handout: Screenshot Requirements. Screenshots not meeting the requirements outlined in the document titled Handout: VM Screenshot Requirements will receive zero (0) points.

Screenshots not meeting the requirements outlined in the document titled Handout: VM Screenshot Requirements will receive zero (0) points. 34 INFO 1002: INTRODUCTION TO INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY 35 LAB 6.4: WINDOWS KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS 6 points (.5 points per question) In Lab 6.2, we used keyboard modifiers to help us copy and move files. They keyboard can be used to change the way we use the mouse, as shown in Lab 6.2, or it can be used to replace the mouse through the use of keyboard shortcuts, which we briefly explored in Lab 6.3. Keyboard shortcuts are a powerful way to help us quickly interact with our computer, since we can keep our hands on our keyboards, rather than spending time moving the mouse to accomplish tasks. Most modern operating systems support keyboard shortcuts. For example, if we didn’t have a mouse, or if we didn’t want to use a mouse, we could copy a file by selecting it, then pressing the CONTROL and C keys at the same time (CTRL+C). This would copy the file to the computer’s memory. We could then “paste” the copy of the file into a new location by pressing the CONTROL and V keys at the same time (or CTRL+V). When more than one key must be held down at the same time, it’s common to list the keys with a plus sign between each key. As noted in the previous paragraph, when we copy a file, we hold down the CONTROL and C keys at the same time. This is often denoted as CTRL+C. In this lab, we will use the Internet to help us find useful Windows shortcuts. A good starting point for this section, would be to open your browser and search for “Windows keyboard shortcuts.” This is just a starting point, though, and you’ll likely need to modify your search to complete the worksheet. QUESTION 6.4.1 How would you denote a shortcut which required you to hold down the Alt, H, and P keys at the same time? QUESTION 6.4.2 What keyboard shortcut can you use to display the Quick Access menu? QUESTION 6.4.3 What keyboard shortcut can you use to select all content or all files/folders? INFO 1002: INTRODUCTION TO INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY QUESTION 6.4.4 What keyboard shortcut can you use to undo an action? QUESTION 6.4.5 What keyboard shortcut can you use to redo an action? QUESTION 6.4.6 What keyboard shortcut can you use to capture a full-screen screenshot and save the screenshot to the “Screenshots” folder? QUESTION 6.4.7 What keyboard shortcut can you use to snap an app or window to the left side of the screen? QUESTION 6.4.8 What keyboard shortcut can you use to lock the computer? QUESTION 6.4.9 What keyboard shortcut can you use to cycle through open applications? 36 INFO 1002: INTRODUCTION TO INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY 37 QUESTION 6.4.10 What keyboard shortcut can you use to open the emoji panel? QUESTION 6.4.11 What keyboard shortcut can you use to cycle through open browser tabs? QUESTION 6.4.12 What keyboard shortcut can you use to open File Explorer QUESTION 6.4.12 What keyboard shortcut can you use to open Task Manager? FINAL THOUGHTS: macOS also supports keyboard shortcuts. Many basic keyboard shortcuts that exist in Microsoft Windows also exist in macOS; however, CTRL is often replaced by COMMAND. For example, CTRL+C becomes COMMAND+C, and CTRL+V becomes COMMNAD+V, etc. If you use a Macintosh, you can use the Internet to help you find keyboard shortcuts to help you operate your computer more effectively.
