| 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) |

| Uninstall WinRAR and get 7-Zip which doesn't automatically steal your associations. 7-Zip works with all the file formats WinRAR does (including RAR!) and a few more. It also obtains higher compression than WinRAR both with its native 7z format and even Zip compression. | |||

| 1. Yes it did
2. I never suggest anything that isn't free. |

| No. 7 Zip or Izarc are better solutions. | |||

| Not just that, but 7-Zip doesn't associate any file extensions when it's installed. So if you uninstall WinRAR, Windows XP should be like it was before. Install 7-Zip and no associations are hijacked, go into the 7-Zip File Manager and associate it with everything except .zip | |||

| Sometimes a System Restore point is made before you install something, can you check to see if one was made when you installed WinRAR, if so roll it back. | |||

Last time I installed the GUI version of 7zip, it automatically stole my file extensions every time I opened it.  The command line version works nice, though, and it's not too hard to add an 'extract' option to .7z files with it. |

| Funny... last time I tried WinRAR, it automatically stole my file extensions without asking (instant uninstall). 7-Zip was always cooperative. | |||

| next time you install winrar, check off the zip checkbox at the file association(sp?) so you wont have to ask such "new user" questions |
