Can not run a downloaded zipped file.

[Guest]

Hi, I'd really apreciate any help; just today i downloaded a file with .exe extension (zipped file?). I tryed to "unzipped" it with winzip ( my file is in my shared folder ) and after I press "unzip" on the winzip window, I got the message "21 files were succesfully unzipped" and then I close the winzip window and try to run my program and all I get is the same window "winzip self extractor" to unzip this file press the unzip button". I do not know much about computers, Can anyone help me?

Typically you don't run winzip to unzip a selfextracting zip file. The idea
behind converting a .zip file to a .exe is that the receiving person does
not need winzip to extract it's contents. You just double click the exe and
then point it to where you want to save it, just like your last sentence
stated.
You didn't say what the contents of the 21 files were, if they are some type
of program then you should be able to find the exe file among them.
