I got that from the other answers. I was just very confused why I'd have to rename them to ".zip".

I still don't get why it is "most" files.

I don't think "most" applies here. Text-based files, pdf, media files and most executeable files are not .zip.

You don't have to rename them, doing so would just make windows default to using the builtin zip extractor.

If you have 7-zip you can just right click the file you wan to explore and try to extract it.

Ah, right, that is how windows works.
