Should I try a different browser?

Now, if you know about my situation about the backup zip files, you know that Im having some problems finding what videos are in what files. Should I try something different, maybe a different browser, like Google Chrome or Firefox?

If my computer is starting to get slow should I upgrade to Google Chrome or Firefox?

I know nothing about your situation. But if you're thinking of trying a different browser, feel free. You can have as many installed as you like. I keep IE, Firefox, Opera and Safari installed.

If you computer is slow, most likely the issue is not just the browser.
But as you may know, FireFox is the most popular browser. Then:
Opera
Chrome
IE9, IE8
Safari
SeaMonkey
.... and many more

However...
You need to take  look at how much space you have on you hard disk drive (HDD).
And you end to scan for virus and spyware.

My question is that I can see my files. I posted in another thread about how I got my files back. Thats not the problem. The problem is that there are so many folders that say "backup zip files" that I dont know whats in them. If I try to look for a video or document, I cant find it because I wouldnt know where to start looking, Is there an easier way I can go through my folders and find what Im looking for, instead of spending mins. and maybe hrs. goint through each "backup zip files"?
 

You are asking 2 separate questions:

How can I search withing zip files and/or list their contents?

If my computer is getting slow will changing to a different browser help matters?

To answer your questions in reverse order, the second answer is "no".

What operating system are you using? From your previous posts, you appear to be using Vista. By default, Vista treats Zip files like folders, so you can just use Windows Search to list their contents, I would have thought.

Windows Search is located where the folders are right? Could it be possible that some of my files are lost? How would I check to see if that?

If this is a continuation of another thread, please do not as the same question(s) here. If this is all new, carry on.

It kind of is from another thread.

Your main problem is how to organize zip from already unzipped files in folders on your drive.

The OP should indicate which Operating System (OS) he is using and what computer he has. If he has turned on the windows index thing, he can expect the computer to be a bit slower. But not a whole lot.
The OP says he uses PGP encryption. I have not idea what this means. PGP should only be used on specific personal files, not the whole computer. But I don't know everything.

Your main problem is how to organize zip from already unzipped files in folders on your drive.

How would I be able to fix this problem?

You need to put in a location or partition of your drive or external drives all zip files and movies. Name the folders as zip1, zip2. All extracted zip files and movies to folders name movies1, movies2. You should not look for any specific first. Think of your hard drive as your room.

I think thats already been done. I have backup zip folders 1, 2,3,4,5 etc. with files in them. I just dont know whats in them. Thats what Im trying to figure out.

You need to extract the files. If after extracting revealed you have already the very same file from that unzipped file, you could always delete it.

Many media players have a way of building a simple database without the need to move stuff around. Moving stuff around just for the sake of organization is not a good practice. Adler all, it is s computer. Computers can build lists very quickly. Moving files is slower and can make trouble. Exception: moving files to another device to conserve space of the system device makes good sense.

How To Organize Your Digital Media Using Simple Steps In Windows Media Player

If you have a huge library of musics organizing those collections can be difficult. Using the built-in tools of Windows Media Player you can make the task much simpler. Microsoft Windows Media Player does more than just play. Windows users can use it to import their CD collection into digital music files, burn audio CDs, and organize their music collection by generating playlists and adding album art. One of Winodws Media Player 11′s strengths is in organizing music by album; it’s simply faster than iTunes(sorry Apple fanboys but this point is true). And browsing albums by cover is, well, fun. Combine it with Vista’s search technology, which is built in to the player, and you can cue up any album just by typing in the first few letters in the Search box and then clicking on the familiar album cover.

Once  media files are located, lists are made that you can edit.
The feature is in other media players also.
