    you do need winrar unless you have some other program that opens .rar files.

    Some use an alternative like 7-Zip.

    when you extract using winrar
    where do you save winrar to ?
    is it to your desktop or what ??

    winrar is a program you install.

    Forget winrar, 7zip performs a whole lot better.
    I mean you should still install winrar because 7zip tends to stuff up alot on rar split files.
    But for general use 7zip wins hands down.
    It's faster and more reliable.

    Also far less known and causes ten times as many "what is this? what do I do? HALP!!!one" questions as .rar. It'd be like .rar was 5 years ago, and trust me, it was annoying as hell.

    ...I find both about the same, i don't extract the whole folder, I just drag what I need out of it, I rarly have use for the compression it offers...

    But could winrar open 7 zip folders, is what i'm on about...one site I went to in the past "suggested" I use 7 zip...

    It's been good ever since...and without the annoying "buy me now" crap...

    But at one point it did stop letting me use it...downloaded a different trial one..it worked on but with that annoying message!


    ...If you got it, experiment, the most you'd do is fill your desktop with files from a heavily packed folder...
