Best way to open an .rar?
-
What do some of you use for opening an .rar file that you are pleased with. Some of the ones I have found are bundled with anti-spam, registry cleanup, blah blah blah. I would like a simple tool.
Thanks for any help.

winrar would be my recomendation as well. A very good program all round, and free.

Do you know winrar ?
http://www.win-rar.com/download.htmlthough i never bought it yet. it still works as free.
Thats the one i use.
Maybe this update carries the end of the use of the software when trial finish.
But i dont think they have changed their policy. -
7Zip is very neat, effective and free

Not a problem, Fred, glad I could help!

IZArc isn't quite as robust as 7Zip but it will handle (read) far more formats, including disk images like ISO and BIN. It's also free.

That's a tough call. Both seem to originate with same author. I cannot recall which version or the source when I had it on my xp machine. Since it is gone, I have not had occasion to acquire any .rar files.

Thanks Tim, no worries. I think I'll stick with WinRAR....

I use WinRar since I started using pc's, never failed and it's there at right click .
