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.

Honestly, 7-Zip is better and totally free.

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.

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.

    • It's a feature, not a bug: Windows Hello face unlock no longer works in the dark

      Geez, this is dumb. I use my laptop sometimes in the dark when doing astrophotography to control my astro-PC... this explains why I have to keep entering my PIN when logging back in. So stupid. I can't see the keyboard in the dark, and I can't have lights everywhere to light it up because everything is very light sensitive (including my eyes!).

      Naturally. I don't care about brand loyalty at all as it's all about price/performance/reliability etc (even what RejZoR said below is a great point to). basically bang-for-the-buck. because at the end of the day... one wants the cheapest possible price to maintain a certain minimum level of performance (or thereabouts). because generally after a certain point with CPU and GPU's the price starts to sky rocket without that much difference in performance where it really matters. p.s. historically I have bought more Intel CPU's and NVIDIA GPU's but I have had some AMD CPU's and one AMD GPU.

      Both of these companies as well as Qualcomm and Apple need competition. Otherwise, they just coast. I don't prefer macOS, though I like some of Apple's hardware, but if anyone needs competition, it is Apple. Their prices are already outrageous and they need to have a reason to produce good hardware and at least keep prices remotely reasonable. (It is criminal what they charge for RAM upgrades especially.) Qualcomm needs to push AMD and Intel not to be so sloppy with the performance/efficiency aspect. Granted, AMD has been doing quite well in this respect considering they are not an ARM architecture. I personally want to have more options that truly compete with Macbook Air and Macbook Pro's on the Windows side. It is difficult to achieve what Apple does since they control the entire stack and that is fundamentally different for Windows PCs other than maybe Microsoft Surface PCs.

    • The $80 video game - A new frontier of cost, or a bridge too far?

      By EdwardFranciscoVilla · Posted

      I would not mind paying 120 up to 150 dollars in this economy value of the dollar currency if their video game is quite breathtaking and excellent use of my hard earned work money. I think people need to appreciate all the effort workers and time that goes into excellent and worthy video games. Now if only the publishers and companies behind the video games would share the love with the developers those at the bottom of work making such games happen as in increase their money accounts and give them a more richer life that I wish would have happened . But how companies have bad reputation of being $$$ profit greedy I feel sad if there are any developers that feel unappreciated as in no real compensation for all the hours of work they put into a blockbuster hit . Have a great day everyone . Thank you developers engineers and programmers that make superb video games happen . You have my thanksgiving and I hope you really really appreciate my words . With you all about this
