How to get a encoded rar files?

Hi John,

Before attempting to look for other software that could open rar files.

It's best to reinstall winrar. It saves time looking for other software and the time that downloads consumes. First, remove it from control panel's add or remove programs. Then clear the registry before installing winrar again. I suggest using a tool that cleans registry.

Try CCleaner, it's a tool that analyzes registry for corrections and it makes your computer faster. It's a small size file and easy to use.

Get CCleaner here.

To clean the registries do these steps:

1. Open CCleaner.

2. Click Registry.

3. Click Scan for Issues. Wait till its done.

4. Click Fix selected Issues. Click Yes if it tells to backup the registry. Then click Fix all selected issues.

Now, if you're really looking for another software that could open rar files. Try 7-Zip, here.

Hope this helps.
