How do you open a zip file?

Is there a program you need for it or does a computer already have one?

    Usually windows explorer can open zip archives.

    However, I recommend 7zip http://www.7-zip.org/ it supports a lot of other formats and also has many useful options. And it's open source and free.

    Download winzip, winrar or 7zip, any og those will do the job. Or if you have windows XP or Vista, just double click on them and the O.S. will uncompress the file for you.
