Comment on Most file types are just a renamed .zip

  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.
