Anyhow, enough about my anti-shopping husband! 

I have found some blogs that offer freebies, and when I have clicked on them to download  the 4Share window opens, and instead of there being a zip icon, there is a bitty little icon that I can best describe as being a small stack of fabric, red and blue and a ribbon tying them together.  I can't seem to open these files and I'm finding that some of them are really so good I would be willing to add whatever I need to my computer to make this type of file compatablie with my system.  Any suggestions? 

Thanks in advance if someone can help me understand this.
