If you've never encountered a zip file before, then we hope you're enjoying your new computer Tongue

Seriously... a zip file is nothing more that a folder of files, neatly packed up in to one compressed file. If you're running Windows (XP or Vista), then you already have an unzip tool built in to your OS.

If you want a standalone application to unzip files, we suggest 7-zip. It's free, and it's good.
