unzipping, HOW TO GET FROM ZIP TO EXE??

[fredcromer]

Hi, after downloading some freeware games, they come in the .ZIP format...so
out of pure luck I opened one called JSW.ZIP with the zip prog. I'm not sure
how i did it but i think i extracted the files within, and it turned the
main file into an EXE one....I have just d,loaded a game i've been hunting
for ages, and again it's .ZIP.......HOW DO I USE THE COMMANDS in these zip
progs to get them running om my WINme, for example...why extract?, there
are options like open,add,favs,extract,view,.....and could someone please
tell me why it always wants to ARCHIVE everything.........ALL HELP OR ANY
INFO SITES WOULD BE WELL APPRECIATED, ALL THE BEST, FRED C

Click the Extract button in your zip program, to extract the file's to a
folder of your choosing (or right click the zip file itself and select
"Extract here"), then run the program.

program.

Don't do "extract here" on your desktop.

Well, don't do it unless you love your desktop being a complete mess.....
