So for .zip files U need to use winzip to unzip/uncompress/open it up...here's where to get a free winzip utility program to download and install on your computer..
WinZip® - The Zip File Utility for Windows - Zip/Unzip, Encrypt/Decrypt
Now for .rar files U need to use winrar to uncompress/open them up...winrar will OPEN BOTH .rar AND .zip files!...here's where to get a free winrar utility program to download and install on your computer..
WinRAR download and support. WinRAR is a powerful Windows tool to compress and decompress zip, rar and many other formats: Homepage
Another good (free) utility for opening .zip and .rar and a bunch of other type files is 7-zip which can be downloaded from:
