You need to burn the iso to a cd with a software like cdburnerxp. You shouldn't extract the files.
You may also create a usb stick to start from instead with http://www.linuxliveusb.com or something like it.
Then when you restart your PC, hit (f2 or f8 or f10 or f12 or del) one of these keys takes you into the BIOS menu where you can select to boot from CD/DVD drive or USB drive.
Since you seem a little inexperienced, you should consider to find somebody who has installed Ubuntu before and let him walk you through the steps after that.
