winrar's self extracting .exe's are way handier than winzips, you can do stuff like choose a program to run when finished, create shortcuts (i think), give the .exe an icon of it's own, make a default path for extracting to...
and you can make either a self extracting .zip or .rar (rar's compression is so much better)
you should be able to find it on download.com
