There's 7zip for free although Windows own zip file system works ok for me.

Have a look at <font color="blue"><u>ExtractNow</u></font> which supports ZIP, RAR, ISO, BIN, IMG, IMA, IMZ, 7Z, ACE, JAR, GZ, LZH, LHA, TAR, SIT archive formats.

Windows from ME onwards, but excluding Windows 2000, has built-in support for creating and opening ZIP archives.
