WinRAR "extract all/here" option missing.

[Technique]

I don't think i've ever left it so long without formatting. As a result i've a stack of settings that have been changed & i've totally forgotten how to put them 'right'.

 

I installed WinRAR as i always have done after formatting but this time around if i click a zipped file there is no "extract here" menu.

 

I googled the solution which said open WinRAR, Options>Settings>Integration>select Integrate WinRAR into shell.

 

The only thing is, this was ticked anyway. I unticked it & re-ticked it but this hasn't solved the problem either. 

 

So when i right click a zipped file, there is no extract option. I have to double click it & do it that way. Not the end of the world but a little inconvenient. 

 

More than anything is i don't ever remember this happening before.

Is WinRar your default program for ,ZIP files?

Honestly, 7-Zip is better and totally free.

uninstall, reinstall by saying "run as admin"... fixes it for me.

Open WInrar

Options  (at the top)

Settings

Integration

bottom right 'Shell Integration

check the box Integrate Winrar into shell

 

open Context Menu items. you can select or remove the options that show up from there.

I like WinRAR & have never previously had a problem.

I'm also using the exact same installer I've always used which i have stored on a USB stick.

Don't take this the wrong way but did you read my OP?

it's odd that the install didn't set it that way already.  He was talking about this window:

I have had this happen only a couple times where it didn't correct it. The last thing I can suggest (and what has always worked for me) is right click the install .exe, go to properties, click on compatibility, choose Run this program for windows 7 AND check off Run this program as an administrator. If this doesn't do it, I am sorry I couldn't help.

It sounds like you're using an old file. Are you still using the same bit version of windows? 32bit or 64bit? I have a few programs that are 32bit where the context menus don't work on 64bit since I upgraded my version.

 

Try using the latest version of WinRAR, unless you're using a pirated copy that is. 7-Zip is free, and superior, bar the RAR recovery options, but they're proprietary anyway to RARLabs, the guys who make WR. 7z compression is superior.
