Rar files are the compressed files whcih help u to minimise ur harddisk space usage. Application like win Zip and Win Rar are used to compress files and thus all the files are stored in a rar format or zip format.
U need to install the application WINRAR which also supports the .zip and .rar format. The settings for file extentions to work for u have to be done after u install the application from the options and settings tabs in the WINRAR application.
Download WINRAR from this site---> www.fileforum.com or torrent it.
Install the application and ofcourse u'll need a crack file to open so since u known how to use torrent by now search for the similar version crack or for the whole setup with crack provided.
After ur done with the installation try opening the rar files u have with u all u need to do is right click on the file and say extract, extract here will extract on whichever place u have set the filepath to. just keep ur eyes open and look up for the path u choose. Ideally it's better to choose the desktop and then u can move ur files later on to whichever folder u want to.
Extract will extract all the files to a folder with a name and set the extraction path thru ur setting on desktop.
open the folder and ur ready to use the files.
Now if u want some files to be compressed say for eg. u have some .pdf files say some 50 files and u want to compress them to one single space in order to minimise the HD space usage all u do is select all the files and say add to archive a folder wih the name u provide will get created and all these files will be stored in it. when u double click on the rar u'll c the list of files in it. Then u can delete the files which are uncompressed and just keep this single rar containing all the 50 files. The size on disk will not be too much but it'll prolly be half the size then those seperate 50 files which occupied ur HD.
If u want then google and search for WINRAR and lookup it's help and directions. But i suppose if u keep ur eyes open and understand then u must just follow the applications settings and adjust according to ur needs and u'll get started. Hope u start enjoying the compression.
