Hello, long time since posting here.  Having a slight problem.  I have assosiated .rar files with adobe.  Since getting F1 2010 for PC I have been using quite a few mods.  Some of which are .rar files, so whenever I download some mods, I can't use them as it tries to open them in adobe and thats not what I'm after.  Trouble is when I go to re set programes in the default programes, it asks me what would I rather use for .rar files other than adobe.  I just want them to be zipped files that I can use from there.

Or worded differently, how do I change file type to zipped rather than adobe.

Any suggestions?

Windows 7, Windows XP?

If using Win 7 go to the control panel > default programs > then click "Associate a filetype with a program"

It's windows 7, but none of the programs are applicable.  When you look at a zipped file it says opens with, windows explorer, or something along those lines, thats what I would like to associate the .rar files with, atleast for now, but explorer isnt an option.

Go to the control panel > default programs > Associate a filetype with a program
Find the file type in the list and double click on it > Click the browse button > Browse to the windows folder, then you should see an application called "explorer" in the Windows folder > Click on the explorer application folder then click open > Now windows explorer should appear in the window where you choose what application to open the filetype with.

once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot  xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

oh I have no doubt that's where it's stored... since that's kinda the purpose of the registry, yes? I'm just not sure where exactly it would be.
