Compressed (zipped) Folder "Cannot create output file."

I was putting some things into a new Zip file and the following error message
popped up. "Cannot create output file." and insted of a zip file I have a
file with a file name with two captal letters a lowercase a and a five digit
number. Is their anyway to get my information back?

I figured out how to do it. You have to rename the file you mentioned with the extension .zip, and then you can extract it as a regular compressed folder with a password.
