First bit of advice.... you don't, not unless you have a really really really good virus scanner!!! and even then I still wouldn't!!
but if you still want to risk it then as long as you have xp then right click on the zip file and select extract all, this should then give you a folder in the same location as the file that contains the contents of the zip file, look in there for a setup program and double click to run it and install.
if it's "cracked" it will have a file in the folder that will either give you the license key to use or some other way that the license is "bypassed"
Or just to remake my point, it may just install a virus on your system!!

Agree with markysngc.
Many nasty people on the internet use limewire and similar programs to distribute viruses.
The give the impression it is the genuine product, but it is in fact the product code with a virus hidden in it.
You unpack and install Nero, and at the same time it installs a keylogger for example.
A keylogger makes a note of everything you type into your computer and sends it to someone else.
That information could include userids and passwords, credit card numbers and so on.
It may sound a bit dramatic, but that is the sort of thing that goes on.
You say you are a complete novice, well dont risk it.
