    This is not true for XP. Windows XP included winzip but I guess after a lawsuit, they do not include it with Vista and Win 7. Since we don't know what OS the OP is running, I said this
    based on the fact he might be able to extract without installing another program.

    All versions of Windows from XP onwards will compress and extract files from to/from zip files without any other software assistance. In XP compression was Send to Compressed Folders, and extraction merely required a double click on the file.

    Programs such as WinZIP are useful, but not essential.
