Although Windows 2000 has no built-in utility to extract .zip files, several programs that can extract them do run on Windows 2000.These include WinZip, WinRAR, 7-Zip, and TUGzip.
Simple. You install 7-Zip.
JAR files are basically ZIP files, so you can open them by any software that can work with ZIP files. That includes Windows XP default file-system browser, WinZip, etc. To actually run the JAR archive, you need to have JAVA runtime environment installed on your computer.
7-Zip doesn't know folder path of drop target. Only Windows Explorer knows exact drop target. And Windows Explorer needs files (drag source) as decompressed files on disk. So 7-Zip extracts files from archive to temp folder and then 7-Zip notifies Windows Explorer about paths of these temp files. Then Windows Explorer copies these files to drop target folder. To avoid temp file usage, you can use Extract command of 7-Zip or drag-and-drop from 7-Zip to 7-Zip.
tar extension can more or less be compared to zip: a tarball (this is the name of a "tar extension'ed file") is used to group file (and eventually folders of files). Although tarballs are mostly used in Unix flavors, programs such as WinRar for Windows can extract files from them. In short, such drivers may work for both Windows and/or Unix flavors.
Start menu>All Programs>Accesssories Then right click on "Command Prompt" and select "Run as Administrator" In the command window type assoc .zip=CompressedFolder That will restore .zip files to their original Windows Explorer associations.
The same story when you delete it from the Windows Explorer.

You cannot convert a .ZIP file to a .AUC file. A .ZIP file is an archive, and .AUC is audio. However, if there is an .AUC file located inside the .ZIP file, then you can extract it using software or even Windows internal .ZIP handling. First try double-clicking the .ZIP file to see if it opens. If it does, then deal with the files the same as you would files in a regular Windows folder. If not, then download PKZip, 7Zip, Rar!, or other archiver that handles .ZIP files. After installing an archiver, the likely action is to right-click the file you want to unzip and select unzip.
If the folder has a zipper on it, it's a zip file. That's what zip files look like in Windows XP and later, since the OS has support for zip files built in. If you're really getting an uncompressed folder, you'd need to specify what browser you were using in order to get an answer.
WinZip extracts files compressed in .zip or .rar format.
Windows Server 2008 does not include built-in command-line tools for unzipping files directly in the Command Prompt. However, you can use third-party utilities like 7-Zip or WinRAR, which can be run from the command line, to extract ZIP files. Alternatively, you can use PowerShell, which is available in Windows Server 2008 R2, to unzip files with the appropriate commands.
Windows starting from Xp has native support for Zip format, it means you don't need to have any other software to unzip files.
