I need to open a Rar file -- Not sure what to do???

See the zip/unzip apps listed on the following Pricelessware page:
<http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/2005/PL2005FILEUTILITIES.php#Archives:Zip-Unzip>
Both 7-zip, PowerArchiver and IZArc supports the RAR format. I like
Izarc, adds a nice menu/submenu entry to the windows shell-context
menu (so when you right-click on a rar file in explorer or any
filemanager - it offers multiple options on what to do with the file..

For other possible candidates, follow links from here:
<http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/acf/P_FILEUTILITIES.php#3.00Archives:Zip-Unzip>
<http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/acf/P_FILEUTILITIES.php#3.00Archives:Unzip>

If you like to keep it simple though, a freeware no install
*commandline* UNRAR tool for Windows is all you need and can be had
from the makers of the RAR/WinRar shareware archiver
<http://www.rarlab.com/rar/unrarw32.exe> (but maybe not that easy to use
if you are not used to working from the CLI - the Command Line
Interface that is.


All the best,
