I will just come out and say it. I love these Nokia prepaid Windows phones…they’re easily affordable, and while considered “entry level,” these phones do give you a lot of bang for your buck. Last year I shared my thoughts on the Nokia Lumia 520 as a Zune on Steroids, and now I upgraded to the Lumia 635 which has a more powerful processor, larger screen, and yes, it has 4G LTE connectivity in the US....

What Does Redo / Repeat do? Redo is exactly the opposite of Undo in that it will Undo the Undo command or repeat the last command you performed. Sorry… Confusing I know.

My screen snips below are from Windows XP and WinZip 11.1. However, the process should be the same for Vista and Winzip 10.x users as well. WinZip 9.0 was the first version of WinZip that began using AES 256 bit encryption, so 9.x users should also be able to take advantage of using WinZip as an encryption tool. So, let’s get right to it. 1. Navigate to the files or folder you wish to zip and encrypt....
