How to Unzip Zip Files using the Extraction Wizard

Hi

How can I use VBA to unzip zip files without Winzip or similar programs?

I have previously used the SHELL command on Winzip to do this but our IS department have gone on a maniacal clean-up of all PCs and removed Winzip from all drives.
I can still unzip files manually using XP's Compressed (zipped) Folders Extraction Wizard but don't know how to automate this.

Any ideas?
