 * WordPress.org isn’t something that will result in an icon on your computer. It’s
   a piece of software that is installed on a local server or web host.

 * WordPress will not install on your desktop without installing something else 
   _first_.
 * Give this a read. It’s a little long but has links to places where you can get
   that extra parts needed.

 * Tamsnively, I think you mean downloaded instead of installed? There are free 
   programs that will unzip files for you like [7-Zip](http://www.7-zip.org/).

 * Like others mentioned already, it doesn’t seem like you’ve actually installed
   wordpress. If you can describe what it is that you have done and what it is that
   you want to achieve, we could help you further.
