    Or you could get WinACE which opens .zips, .rars, and much more.

    I use WinZip and Winrar.

    By the way, you can option :

    WinRAR : rarlabs.com
    WinZIP : winzip.com
    WinACE : winace.com

    Personally, I don't reeally like ace...

    Really? Interesting.
    If anyone like a freeware then I'd suggest 7zip. It supports a crapload of extensions and its free. The url is...um I'm too lazy to find out, google it yourself :P.

    You can use Winrar after it has expires, but it pops up every so often telling you to register it. And if you're wondering the trial period is 40 days at last check

    each program is better because it opens them up better and compresses the files better. You could get winzip because that opens them but i use winrar and thats the best for openin up the file
