How to restore the default compression program?

because someone downloaded winrar, a program I hate, I removed it. Now I can't compress or uncompress zip files anymore. Can I open them like I used to before winrar?

    1. right click over a zip file

    2. choose "Open With..."

    3. then click "Choose Program..."

    4. Assuming you want Winzip, search for Winzip in the list, and select it.

    5. Check the "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" checkbox.

    6. click Ok

    now when you double click the zip file, it will always open with Winzip

    You should not hate WinRAR, it's cool! :)
