I thought files with .tar.gz extension were just like compressed files with a .zip or .rar extension, but in fact they are a bit different. .tar.gz are two extensions & not one, which means this kind of files are created using two processes (& probably two tools). - The first process is for archiving one or more folders & files into one file, a Tarball file that has a .tar extension. Tarball files are not compressed. - The second process will GZip (& compress) the Tarball file created in the first process. This will create a GZip file with .gz extension. So if you use the first process on a folder called MyFolder , you will get a Tarball file called MyFolder.tar , now (to the 2nd process) you compress the file created using GZip & you get a file named MyFolder.tar.gz . Why two processes & not one are used? Because you can only GZip a single file, so if you have several files / folders, you have to first merge them to one Tarball file. How to create a .tar.gz on

Here are simple steps to follow, First open the Properties window of the Taskbar, the simplest way to do that is a right click on an empty place of the Taskbar, then choosing Properties . If there's no empty space in your Taskbar (because of too many programs open maybe), open the Start menu, right click on an empty place, click on Properties & in the window that opens choose the Taskbar tab. No empty space there too? :| OK, open the Control Panel & look for Taskbar & Start Menu (if the Control Panel is V

Do you think of the feet you walk on & the eyes you see through? Do you forget about the air you're breathing sometimes?
