Hi Lelia, Someone has probably answered this before me, but if someone hasn't here is my answer. In order to extract rar files you will need an archive utility such as Winzip 12, Winrar, or you can get a free archive utility like Izarc. Any of the above programs will open and unpack rar files

Hi Shadow Dragon, I beg to differ with you. There are several programs that will open rar files besides Winrar. There are free programs like Izarc and Unrar as well as your commercial programs like Winzip that will open rar files. You really need to be careful about blanket statements like,

Hi Dark, That seams to be the case for most archive utilities. Most are able to extract rar files, but they won't create them. Since zip is the more widely supported of the two formats I've never quite understood why Winrar users insist on using the rar format anyway. However, that is a

Yeah, I was mistaken all around, it was a bad case of non-experimentation. I assumed for some reason that since the rar and tar.gz files weren't associated with 7zip when it installed that it couldn't open them. Problem solved, and thanks for the indirect help, *grins*.

No problem. I believe I only found out with an experiment through irritation sinse I didn't see the point of installing several unzip programs, and I never liked the constant shareware pokes and needs to reinstall which came with Winrar last time I tried it. Beware the Grue! Dark. -

Hi, I see. So what you want is an archive program that will unrar a file, but not override Windows Explorer's unzip ability? I believe if you do a custom Winzip installation you can go through a dialog box to set which file types you want it to automatically open and which ones to leave alone
