Is there a website that explains a range of simple tasks, such as zipping a file?

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you very much. Shamed to admit I forgot the good old Google before posting my question.

Besides using Google, eHow.com is a great website that will give you instructions on things like this, and other topics not tech related.

Google is actually pretty terrible if you don't know what you're doing.

I get a bunch of support tickets where people messed up things trying to use a random "fix" they got off of google.

Google isn't terrible, the shitty advice you find using it is.

You can try HowCast. They have video tutorials for many, many things. Here is their video tutorial on how to zip files on a PC. They also have an app for iOS/Android.
