    .rar file to winRAR

    Hi G41axyX

    Do you have WinRAR installed on your PC?

    If so: right click a RAR, choose 'Open With' - Choose Another App

    Important - Check the box marked 'Always use this app to open rar . . .'

    If WinRAR is not in the list, scroll to the bottom and click 'More Apps'

    Again if WinRAR is not in the list, at the bottom, click 'Look for another app on this PC', then navigate to find the WinRAR executable . . .

    Switch file downloads from WinRAR to normal

    strange winrar files on desktop

    Hi,

    It sounds like the WinRar files you mention are the files extracted from DirectX Runtime_June 2010_Redist.. You should find a file with the same name in C:\Windows\System32, although it will be the installed file, not the WinRar file..

    There are multiple files in this package, but I don't know if there are 60.. My folder with these files has 160 files..

    You would install them as a package by double clicking the DXSETUP..

    Is it possible that the files are in the Recycle Bin and is the possible reason they do not appear on your normal Desktop..
