WinRAR FAQ

How do I handle RAR files?

WinRAR provides complete support for RAR files, so you may both create and unpack them.

If you installed WinRAR on your computer and downloaded a RAR file from the Internet, you may double click on the RAR file icon to open it in WinRAR, select all files, press the "Extract To" button, enter a destination path and press "OK".

Another way is to click on the RAR file in Explorer using the right mouse button. If you enabled the "Shell integration" option when installing WinRAR, the file context menu will contain the "Extract to ..." item.
