Are you trying to unzip? Or zip up lol? If unzip just double click the file.

7zip is freeware and awesome, reads everything ive ever needed uncompressed, also if you 7zip something up the compression ratio is quality!

XP, 2003, Vista, 2008 and 7 all have built-in zip file support. They don't do RARs or 7Zip files but they're proprietary formats so will require a piece of software to do it, although the software is unlimited trialware...

Tugzip works nicely as well, Support everything that WinRAR does, but doesn't have that annoying begging screen.

No you don't, you just click "OK" every time it prompts you to buy. 7zip ftw though
