OOPS! forgot something...
I'll start over and highlight what I forgot
1) Click on My Computer to open Windows Explorer.
2) Click on Tools | Folder Options...
3) Click on the File Types tab
4) Press "R" to get close to the entry for RAR, then scroll down to it.
5) Click on the RAR entry.
At this point, the "Advanced" button should be available (not grayed
out)
6) Click on the "Advanced" button
7) A dialog box will open, click on the "New" button
8) This opens another dialog box:
a) Under "Action:", type:
Extract Here
b) Under "Application used to perform action:", type:
"C:\Program Files\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe" "x""%1"
Note: Type it EXACTLY as I have it above - including all quotes. The
only modification you may need to make is if your winrar has not been
installed to C:\Program Files\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe. This is the default
location though.
c) Put a checkmark in the "Use DDE" box
d) Under "Application:", type:
WinRAR
e) Under "Topic:", type:
System
9) Click OK to close THIS one dialog box
(Now the forgotten step)
10) Click on the new "Extract Here" entry
11) Click on the "Set Default" button
12) Click "OK" on this and the next dialog box - you're done.
Enjoy!
Steps 8c, 8d and 8e might not be necessary - but I did them and so far
it's working on my system.
I don't know whether or not steps 8d and 8e are case sensitive. That is,
typing WiNrAr for step 8d and sySTEm for 8e might work but I won't swear
to it. I suspect it doesn't matter, but I thought I'd mention it.
