Could you please make a tutorial on howΒ to download and open ZIP files? Whenever I buy ZIP files, they never open and show all of the files. Its a very confusing process and Id appreciate it if you could help me.

Ahaha, thank you! I've been getting into making wallpapers lately, so instead of uploading them all separate, I wanted to start making packages... this helped a TON.

hey, I do exactly every step but than dA said this: "To protect our users, deviantART does not allow archives which contain executable files, password protection, or other archives. Please remove these files from your archive and try again." and won't let me submit it. what do I do? I don't know how to fix it. Will you please help me?
