Use a GUI based zip program like winzip, unzip the component files
into a directory, while maintaining the subdirectory tree structure.
Why a GUI based zip program?  Well, I don't entirely trust XP's built
in handling of ZIP files, and you're being difficult by not wanting to
touch the DOS window.

Then, you'll need to set the environment variables.
under Start/control panel/administrative tools,

select SYSTEM, and when the window pops up, select the ADVANCED tab.

click on the button marked "environment variables"

At the bottom of window, under "System variables"

click on the "NEW" button.

For variable name, fill in:   DJGPP

Assuming you put unzipped everything into C:\DJGPP for the directory,

For variable value, fill in:  C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV

Adjust as necessary if you put it elsewhere.

Click OK.

Now, in the little scrolling window under "System Variables", find the
entry called "Path".  Click on it, and then click on the EDIT button.

shuffle to the end of the variable value line, and add the following
to it:

; C:\DJGPP\BIN

Again, assuming that you installed the files into the C:\DJGPP
directory.

That's it for installing.

Compiling is another matter.  Without resorting to the command prompt
window at all, you'd have to either use an IDE.   You could try
issuing gcc compile commands using RUN, from the start menu, but I
don't know if that will work.
