trytex07,

First, you need to be able to see which files are compressed. See this Microsoft article, especially the section entitled "Displaying Compressed Files in Color", for making that change.

Then you need to select the files you want to uncompress. That's done with the Windows Explorer, as described in this Microsoft article. See the section entitled, "To set the compression state of a folder or file".
