    Associating cabview.dll


    This may be the wrong section, but here it goes.

    I installed WinRAR and I forgot to tell it not to associate with .cab files. Now I need to associate cabview.dll with .cabs again...how do I do this?

    Hey what you need to do is to go to winrar and un register it with winrar. what do you want to assoc with *.cab?

    Run WinRAR as admin, then go into Options --> Settings --> Integration tab and uncheck cab files and reboot. That should revert it to cabview.dll.

    I have unchecked .cabs in winrar already, but I dont think cab view is associated.

    To associate an app with an estension goto start>cpanel>default programs. Fid cab and assoc. Im not sure you can assoc with a dll file.

    Can you explain why you don't think cabview is associated? Have you rebooted?
