You need Winrar to explore .rar files because the files are compressed. Win 7 can only ceate and explore .zip files which is a completely differnent method of file compression.

Only if the extension is ZIP.

Hello Frost, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Sorry, but you'll have to have a 3rd party program like 7-Zip to view RAR files.
