Using win XP, I downloaded winRAR a week back to open a file - its an evalutation copy, i noticed there is no uninstall and in add or remove programs it says winRAR archiver 2.64mb - is that how i uninstall it?? Just wondered cause of the archiver part(does that mean the whole progam?). Before having winRAR i had the normal xp zip (which i presume was winzip even tho it wasn't in programs). And winRAR has taken over all my.zip files now. Anyway any feedback on which one people prefer to use i.e the standard xp one or winRAR???

And if i decide to get rid of it will all my zip files go back to as they were before? Thanks in advance. E.g it is just a file association thing isn't it? P.s i had always wondered why even tho i could extract files in xp there was no winzip listed in programs? Is that what it used?
J - I prefer winRAR as RAR archives have better compression ratios to zip files and winRAR opens more types of compressed files. After a month you have to pay for it, or you have to click OK to the reminder mesage each time you open it. To uninstall winRAR just use the item in add/remove programs. The uninstall file is located here: c: program files winrar uninstall.exe XP natively supports zip and cab files. It is not winzip, it is XP's internal file compression utility which allows you to open such files. If you want to keep winRAR for RAR archives, but want all others to stay with XP, read the file association FAQ. Thanks for the prompt answers guys, great, o.k i think i will stick with what the pros use/recommend (G P & tweak'e) - and thanks for filling me in on the zip files thing in xp being an internal (G P) as i had always wondered about that!
So if i was to uninstall it it would revert back to the internal file compression utility i presume, but i think i would rather keep it for all files if you guys say it is better, than change back to xps for a few!!! As i noticed it had changed alot of file associations that was all, and wondered if it would cause any probs in future.
Fun facts pdf. Thanks heaps - sounds like a good program then:-) and thanks to that goes to you too G P:-).
