.rar files

Tuesday, June 13, 2006 by Rychian | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Whats the best way to extract/open .rar files. Is there a program in windows that will do this, or is there one I can download that will do the job????
Thanks,
Rychian

I got the winrar one, long time ago. It just seems to sit there 'til a .rar file comes along, opens it, and kicks back again. Clean and unobtrusive.

If you don't want to spend anything, you can go to the Yahoo Widgets gallery and get a widget called "Zipper". It is fan-freakin'-tastic! It unzips all kinds of files and it can also zip files. It's drag and drop. Try it, it's free!

"Zipper"

That's what I call a 'useful' widget. Thnks for the link Guy!

Not a problem Po'!

I think that has to rank in the top 5 or 10 widgets of all time in my book. I can't believe it's free.
