how do I unzip files with xp?

[still annoyed]

That's just it. I don't know where to look to reaccess
the downloaded file. After waiting about a download of
something to download you'd figure there would be some
trace of it on your computer but I don't seem to be able
to find it.

They must be on your PC somewhere, use the Search facility to look for
*.ZIP files. Then you can open them, and from the File menu select
Extract All and specify a folder to extract them to.
