Default .ZIP files

Ok... Somehow when I download .ZIP program files it wont let me "Unzip" them... So I downloaded a program called WINACE that lets me unzip them.. Is there anyway I can get it back to the orig. thing when i download a .zip file that i can use windows to unzip it instead of a program? Thanks!

With XP you still need a program like WinZip to open up, extract, or archive files into the compressed zip type files. With Windows Explorer seen in Vista there have been some changes made there as well as the desktop appearance and other features. When double clicking on an archive Windows will ask where you want to extract the files to as one option. With XP you are still stuck using something WinZip or Winrar.
