If Windows cannot find the appropriate program associated with .ZIP files, then your registry may have errors. Check your Windows registry for errors (includes file association errors).

ZIP files are archive files that have been zipped or archived using the ZIP compression algorithm which is one of the most commonly used compression algorithm today. This is a compression algorithm in which each of the file that is added into the archive file is compressed separately of one another. This compression format is widely supported by a variety of softwares and even by the basic operating systems by default. Users can create Zip files on the Windows operating system using several softwares such as PKZip, WinZip. MacOSX users can create ZIP archive files simply by right clicking over a file or a set of files and click on the option 'Create Archive of {filename}' and the archive file will be created with the 'filename' in the same directory as the files.
