Danger! Will Robinson! Danger!
A picture is a picture! Most e-mail programs will display the picture in the window, you should not have to click on anything!
If you click on what you think is a picture, it SHOULD not be launching any sort of program except a viewer of some sort, and WinZIp is NOT a viewer!
Looks like some sort of e-mail worm has invaded your cousin's computer! Have him scan for viruses/worms immediately! And make sure he sent those files to you!

WinZip is a program that unzips things. Go on the internet, and download the free version.
Google---- download winzip free
You can use the evaluation version forever. Just don't hit buy it.
Once you install it, then you go to those pictures, double click, and Winzip will open. Open in the Wizard Mode. You take your time, and WiZip will ask you to install, and show folders. Once you do that you will see the Photo's. Then you can move them to your pictures.

WinZip is an application that compresses files in archive form for storage and or sending via email as it make the file(s) smaller.
Now with that said if you need to extract the zip file all you have to do is Rightclick the file and choose extract using zip...Windows by default has a zip application installed on it and will work with WinZip...If it doesn't then download WinZip and extract the file...Even the trial software will work...

go to www.winzip.com and down "winzip" it will then open the zip file and all the photos will be in that zip file. He has just ziped it up so he can make it one small single file
Hope that helps
