There must be a way to just unzip files

Q

quickquestion

There is a nagware program called justzipit that will allow you to
double-click on a zipped file and immediately unzip the file to a
folder with the same name.

It skips the part where you have to choose the name and say OK and
Finish and whatever.

There must be a setting for XP that does that. Meaning I keep xp's
compression-handling enabled but instead of starting the wizard, it
just unzips the file to a folder in the same place with the same name.
Any ideas?

Why would you think that? :)

When you open a zipped file using XP, it just opens it up as a folder. You
can copy/drag/whatever you like. You can choose from many third party zip
apps to install & use - you don't have to use XP's native one, which is
somewhat limited.
