Using 7 zip to open WinZip files

I'm trying to open files on the how to make a website tutorial. The files automatically try to open in winzip (which I don't have) and tells me I need to download the program. Can someone tell me how I can open these files using 7 zip or another method? Thank you

You didn't mention what kind of system you are using. But if it's Windows, you should be able to right-click on the file and select "Open With..." and then find 7zip in the list (assuming it is installed).

You could also just run 7zip directly and then use the "open" function to find and select your file (this should work on any kind of system).
