I would think that you should just do these steps:

unzip folder (save the zipped folder just in case I am wrong)
put in thumb drive
open my computer
drag unzipped folder to icon of you thumb drive (I believe it's called "usb mass storage device")
(this part comes from my knowledge with a burning a cd so you may not need this part)
click your thumbdrive icon
click in the side bar "write these files to disk"
let wizard write it
(end of part with my knowledge of burning a cd)
your done

to open DSL in windows:
click icon of you usb drive open "dsl-embedded" file
click "dsl-windows" (it should say that the file is a "MS-DOS Batch File")
let kernal boot up
WELCOME TO LINUX

that's it
