.rar files are archives. there are dedicated programs to unpack these files: winrar, ace etc. you can use a specialized program such as those.
i use on my computer a program that is called "total commander". it is a file manager, if you want. it has built-in features to open, create and manage various types of archives. not only .rar, but also .zip, .tar, .gz, . tgz etc.
it provides two separate windows making it very easy to manipulate files (similar to the ancient NORTON COMMANDER).
other utilities like multi rename, split and combine, ftp connection etc. are available.

You can download a trial version that will open the file, but you need to purchase WinRAR to keep it....
I also have 7-zip, but it doesnt cover the rar compression format....

You can use WinRar or WinZip, PicoZip, or sometimes Windows itself will unrar them for you depending on how they were packed.

.rar is just a compressed file, use either "winrar" or "Izarc" to uncompress it, or if all else fails try winzip
