First you have to log in with the launcher

First you have to log in with the launcher, then you have close the launcher after it gets to the menu screen, then you have to go the .minecraft, then go into the bin file, then go into the minecraft.jar with Winrar or 7-zip.

WinRar  or 7zip

Isn't WimZip the defualt program on Windows?
I highly suggest WinRaR though for messing with the .jar file

Everyone is posting extremely vague and non helpful comments, Keep in mind lucass has no idea what we are talking about.

You need an extracting program if you want to mod the jar because you need to be able to open it and view the files, You can't open it any other way than using a 3rd party program like WinRaR or 7Zip

Ya you can put saves in the folder, make sure they are decompressed though.

Why don't you just go on google and see where you can download Minecraft jar, There will be a list  of the Minecraft jar files, For example 1.2.5, 1.3.1 and 1.3.2 i reccomend you get the latest, 1.3.2 then you can play on your premium account on most servers.

Why do you need the jar file?

If you already own Minecraft you can just move your current jar somewhere else and update minecraft to get a new one.

Also not sure why everyone only capitalizes the G in my name >.>

Yes, We all are aware of where the jar file is and should be. That is hardly the problem here
