1) XP has built-in ZIP creation/extraction. Just right-click on it and
follow your nose.

2) If you prefer more fully featured ZIP utilities try one of the many,
MANY tools available out there. Two examples:

WinZip (http://www.winzip.com) NOT FREE (well...)
UltimateZip (http://www.ultimatezip.com/) FREE

A search at tucows.com will turn up hundreds more.

You have to go into safe mode in XP Home to do this, it is one of the
differences in Home and Pro.

Or you could go to Start>Run and type regsvr32 zipfldr.dll and hit OK if you
want to use XP's native unzipper. I prefer WinZip too, but it costs money
unless you're willing to live with the nags.

Bleh. Another reason I'm glad I avoided XP Home.
