you need some sort of zipping software.
I think winzip is inbuilt into XP.
winRAR is a good and popular piece of software that will unzip many different types of compressed folders

It doesn't matter how the zip is created, by Windows or winzip or otherwise.

What's important is that your friend can open it. Windows can open zip files, so as long as its a zip file you'll be fine.
