You can actually select which files to associate with winrar both on install and in the options.

If I had known this happened when I first happened I would of done that but unfortuneatly its been about 20 days now and I don't want to do a system restore to that far back.

I've tried that and it didn't go back to how it was.

Posts: 440/517		 7-zip is the program that origionally comes with windows?

Posts: 191/1312		 1. Yes it did
2. I never suggest anything that isn't free.

Posts: 439/517		 1- That dosn't answer the question

2- Is that free?

Posts: 438/517		 I downloaded winRAR and it got rid of the Extract Wizard that comes with windows. Is it possible to get it back?

(sorry if I can't explain very well)
