Windows XP Zip Program

[Dannie]

Someone told me that if I have Windows XP that I have a zipping program and
that it is in Windows Explorer.

Someone wants to send me a zip file and I want to unzip it using windows.
Can someone give me detailed instructions on how to do it or point me to an
article that will explain what to do?

TIA

Yes, Windows XP can do ZIP files without a problem. Once you get the file,
save it somewhere you can find it. Go there, and the file will look like a
folder with a zipper on it. Just click it like a normal folder. Windows
will take care of the rest for you.

The "detailed instuctions" are very simple: just double-click on it.
