There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

It's open-source and will handle all of the common archive formats.
When you install it, you can choose which archive formats you want to associate with it. any that you don't check to link 7zip to will remain associated with whatever archive program you're using now.
If all you want it for is to open RAR archives, only check the box for that particular file format.
Attached is a screenshot of the options tab that shows what it all supports. Note, I have nothing associated with 7zip...I use the right-click context menu instead to "open file with 7zip" option instead.
And if you find that you like how it operates, you can select more or all the archive types to be handles by 7zip too. It's a very well put together program.
I have 7zip(open-source freeware) and WinRAR(payware) running alongside each other with no problems.
I also moved this down to the software support forum so others can benefit from the thread too.
