Zip and other compressed files weren't taken into consideration by the OS itself until Windows XP. You will need a program like winzip (winzip.com) to uncompress zip files.
Actually Windows ME has that feature but I'll admit that it wasn't that necessary when WinZip unregistered has no expiration date (that I'm aware of).
WinRAR supports .ARJ and .ZIP files as well as its own .RAR files. It costs about $30 to register but does a better job than WinZip.
