To extract an archive file and view its contents on the desktop, you can follow these steps:
1. Locate the archive file on your desktop. It will typically have a file extension such as .zip, .rar, .tar, etc.
2. Right-click on the archive file and select an option like "Extract here" or "Extract to [folder name]". This will extract the contents of the archive file to a new folder on your desktop.
3. Once the extraction process is complete, you can open the newly created folder to view the contents of the archive file. You can also move or copy these files to other locations on your desktop or computer.
4. If you do not have an option to extract the archive file by right-clicking, you may need to use a third-party file extraction tool such as WinRAR, 7-Zip, or WinZip. Simply install one of these tools, right-click on the archive file, and select the option to extract the contents.
By following these steps, you should be able to easily extract an archive file and view its contents on your desktop.
