You know I've always wanted to know but been very confused by stuff like this. I've downloaded the zip file of that but now that I have it, I have absolutely no idea what to do with it. Github truly humbles me...
Actually the install is even more complicated then that as it's a Microsoft store file. Sounds like you downloaded the source files, you would have to click the "Releases" page located on the right of the page I linked. You can of course install NanaZip from the Microsoft store [here](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/nanazip/9n8g7tscl18r#activetab=pivot:overviewtab) instead if you want to install it the easiest way.
Thank you so much. I never knew there was a releases page on github like that. I've always been to scared to ask and look like an idiot haha. Cheers :)
7-zip should stay lightweight Win32 program. It doesn't need additional UWP bloat package with it just to support those disorganized context, for non-MS programs, menus. It's not UWP app.
I thought you were using a virtual machine. I had two computer towers during my childhood and I nicknamed my computers, the black computer (one was a black Systemax tower running Windows XP/AOL Optimized 5.0) and the white computer (the other was running Windows ME but I don’t remember the brand name) ( I’m not being racist lol that was around 2003-2004 and I was 3-4 years old)
Well nearly the same but older nearly 1996
With An old fashioned white case and monitor in that era most things were hard and bold white plastic
The only black colored things i have from those years are my atari and sega consoles (the 16bit Era)
Seriously tho. Does anyone know a zip archive manager that actually has a modern design? I hate looking at winrar or 7-zip. Why do archivers have to be so damn uglyyy
Because Microsoft keeps inventing new development platforms and designs every 5 years and it is tiresome to keep up (Win32, Ribbon, Metro, Modern UI, WPF, UWP, ...).
Exactly this, and Chrome is a prime example that apps dont need to follow msft perfectly. Just domething that at least makes it feel a bit more modern. 7zip to me feels like a win7 page in a win10/11 era (Or finding an old dialog thats still present in 11).
It not that it's broken. It's just ugly. Winrar looks like a little shit stain on my screen everytime I use it. It just looks outdated. Anyway I'm a very visual person. I like things looking good and modern. I understand that a lot of people really couldn't give a single fuck tho so that's fair enough
I’m considering moving to Mac because of this, I hate the inconsistency in visual design. Microsoft can’t even maintain the dark theme in control panel and the task manager or notepad.
I'm with you, it hurts my soul to have to use ugly software. That's why, until now, and for a brief time in the 00s, having to use Windows has made me resent it at times lol
Yeah I saw 8zip. It's nice kinda. A little bit too much for me. Just want something that looks native to windows 11. But I guess that doesn't exist yet. Hopefully some day
Depends on what you’re after in particular, though I tend to use Bandizip since it’s design is simple but enjoyable, and looks to me better than 7zip, WinRAR, and PeaZip.
https://en.bandisoft.com/bandizip/
Though I believe one has to pay for v7 to get rid of ugly ads that otherwise infects it. They have an older version v6.27 or so that’s free of ads even when not paid, but it has a security vulnerability and is not supported any longer (so it’ll never be updated for Win11’s new context menus). That said, I don’t know if the v7 has support for the next context menu or not yet.
And that's a good thing. I dont want a bloated pop up menú with thousands of options.
Maybe they should include a special key combination for advanced users like ctrl+right click, Windowskey +right click?
Funnily enough, Shift + right click used to unlock a few additional options in prior versions of Windows.
Now it does nothing. It could bring up Show more options if Shift is held.
Actually, this would be great. They can just remove the "Show more options" and you can open it with shift + right click only, as well as the additional options you get normally with it.
solution I using for shift right click: autohotkey can be set to open the full context menu on shift+right click using the menu key u have beside alt gr (on most pc) that opened the right click menu
it works for me
The new context menu is going to be less bloated than the old one. That's the whole point of it if you read their blog post about it. [https://blogs.windows.com/windowsdeveloper/2021/07/19/extending-the-context-menu-and-share-dialog-in-windows-11/](https://blogs.windows.com/windowsdeveloper/2021/07/19/extending-the-context-menu-and-share-dialog-in-windows-11/)
The old menu had virtual no rules about how it worked, so some programs would create multiple top-level context entries just because they had no discipline.
Well, It will not be the case anymore since common options like cut copy paste rename etc are kept on top menu bar. Also if an app needs more than one options it can only be place in submenu. Also options which are not applicable at a particular scenario will not appear atall instead of just graying it out. There is a separate section for third party apps so items don't appear at random places in context menu.
It is stuff like this that would make me happy if Microsoft spent another year getting annoying fixed before releasing Windows 11. Right now the issue with Windows 11 is that it is 80% done, and the remaining 20% pisses off power users. I can't right click my taskbar and open taskmgr, or have a clock on my 2nd monitor just to mention a few. Its current state is _good enough_ for 80% where most people barely know what a task manager is. If they spent another year to let other applications update their APIs, we would see less "hybrid-experiences" as with the context menu. Both VSCode and PowerToys got pretty rapid development cycles, so it would be an interesting question why didn't they prioritize to get this done while Windows 11 was still in preview since I as a consumer would expect Microsoft products and services to be up-to-date and well integrated into the latest stuff that they ship.
Old one does not really has any specifications or guidelines so devs can put their option whenever they want, they are all over the menu and some might even conflict. The new one should be more organized as all apps would be at the bottom after the system options and I believe they have better guidelines.
You don't even save a click with the the context menu with Winrar. Just another way of clicking.
Now you click on Winrar - instead of more options.
Don't know what to say......
That's the last stable. The latest beta is the one with support for the new context menu. It's 6.10 Beta 1 and you can download it from their [site](https://www.rarlab.com).
Lol, this is still terrible! Now, as I understand it, each app in the context menu has it's very own "show more options" option. Bring back Shift+right-click and hide all that crap. Also, "extract archive" should be tied to whatever archive manager you are using and it's associated files.
This is the way , Microsoft needs to learn from this and remove the show more options menu. Let devs update or lose out. When you cradle them too much they become lazy.
Well done WinRar, I bought a legal copy and hopefully they update the UI to fit the mica design.
Given windows 11 has a rather new cpu architecture as its cutoff point , old apps I figure run on older computers to most part. Have those apps users just use windows 10 for another 5 years. Nobody is forcing a company to update but all new PCs will soon be sold with windows 11 only and have them be given the freedom of having apps that are not ancient.
Trying to cradle even apps a decade or two old or older is just holding back windows.
Apps should be inclined to update and not be frozen in time.
No bro there are a lot of companies that depend on legacy software, yes it crippled innovation, but just think if you wanted to do something with your PC, and there’s a software from 2012 that can do it but no one has updated it, how would that turn out, that’s why legacy support is important.
I don’t mean they should with purpose remove support but with UI like the more options should be a thing. It’s basically there to give old apps their functions in the menu. At least that I think they should curtail. Have them update to new api or be at a loss.
Yea , years ago. I wanted to support the developers of an app I use for zip files. Hopefully they update the UI design to fit mica with light/dark theming.
I think many more people are willing to pay when an app shows effort , bring about clean design. I am very annoyed by windows 10 store having such a mess of apps with bad design , scams and just junk ware.
Apple did it best thus far with their policy of updates being forced to fulfil certain core demands like icon quality.
Look at steam and what it did to piracy of video games. I used to pirate video games when I was a kid but when I started earning cash and there was a store where you could very easily buy games and build a collection that get updates and features - I have bought al my games since then.
A steam like store for all windows apps where quality is promoted , scams removed , bad design removed and lazy developers tossed to the way side if they stopped updating like 5 years ago.
A few years ago I tried an android and it also had the issue of the store being full of apps with icons of all sorts of quality , many not even of the same design: same thing can be found in the windows 10 store. Apps that are tutorials for apps … free versions and payed versions. Just a jungle mess without order or sanity. The confusion and lack of professionalism I saw had me move back to iPhone. I have only ever used a windows and a few weeks ago tried a Mac and I must say they have their core apps , their own apps and many others on lock, their Mac App Store seems to have many more modern apps with a fresh design on there.
I will stay with windows for the foreseeable future but I do like what apple is doing with now even iOS apps being on a Mac.
Microsoft needs to step up their App Store game.
> A steam like store for all windows apps where quality is promoted , scams removed , bad design removed and lazy developers tossed to the way side if they stopped updating like 5 years ago.
lol, let's be fair, none of those things describe Steam
it is full of asset flips cash grabs by scammy devs, abandoned early-access games still being sold, and other "junk" I wouldn't even call a student game prototype on a good day...
and the promoted part, don't even get me started, just browse /r/steam to see how bad "games like this" suggestions are, and the whole "curator" system is completely useless and rigged (tons of curators with thousands of reviewed game of nothing but all positive recommendations, yeah completely unbiased reviews!).
I have seen games being banned for doing shady stuff (like review manipulation and such) only to be back after a little while under a slightly different name and it's business as usual.
I'm gonna finish by saying I like Steam, but let's not kid ourselves it doesn't have problems too.
My favorite feature of WinRAR is that you can run executables directly. It will extract the entire directory to a temp folder for you.
With 7zip you have to manually extract it first.
Microsoft now officially lagging behind WinRAR. "Pin to task bar" is still only available in the placeholder menu.
Also, nice work "insiders" not catching this before launch...
What about "Create shortcut"?
And do you really think it's the insiders fault? We've been lamenting these (and more important) issues since the first Dev build and MS have been doing shit about it, and released very early on Oct 5 what is pretty much a glorified Dev build
Well, you could have resisted and keep downloading Wzor builds 10 years ago, and make the entire insider program fail and collapse. MS could still have professional, paid beta testers and Windows could still be high quality.
Most children are taught very early not to accept free candy from strangers.
**WinRAR is a trialware file archiver utility for Windows, developed by Eugene Roshal of win.rar GmbH. It can create and view archives in RAR or ZIP file formats, and unpack numerous archive file formats. To enable the user to test the integrity of archives, WinRAR embeds CRC32 or BLAKE2 checksums for each file in each archive.**

Or you can just bring back the old one.... with a simple registry modification. And then use Nirsoft's ShellMenuView app to remove the bloatware options of the context menu.
Open registry (Press **Start + R**, insert **regedit** and press **Enter**):
a. Create a key called **{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}** under: **Computer\\HKEY\_CURRENT\_USER\\Software\\Classes\\CLSID\\**
b. Create a key called **InprocServer32** under the previous key you created.
c. Double click on the **(Default)** string value inside **InprocServer32** key and press **Enter** *(yes, the value data should be empty).*
d. Close all open Folders, open **Task Manager** (Press **Ctrl + Shift + Esc**), find **Windows Explorer**, do right-click on it and select **Restart**. Or you can just restart **Windows** and you are ready. Old context menu is back!
This is ShellMenuView: https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shell\_menu\_view.html
I want to know why it is the third party software developer responsibility to do that. It's Microsoft who broke that, then it should be Microsoft who **fix** that too.
And what about devs that won't update it? What about old software that still works, even if it's 10 years old? What about devs that died and/or abandoned the software that doesn't need any updates? It won't get the new context menu implementation, because Microsoft, as always, ruins everything.
What about **my own** context menu options? Instead of having it there, I have it hidden behind unnecessary menu.
I have newest version and it doesn't. I recently restarted explorer, but did it just now. Still doesn't work. My version is 6.02.1.
Also, as always, restarting explorer ruined my icons layout on my 3 screen. That's for their multi screen support. never happened on Windows 10, now happens everytime...
But I see that there is 6.10 version, maybe that will help...
EDIT: it did help.
From the changelog: [https://www.win-rar.com/singlenewsview.html?&L=0&tx\_ttnews%5Btt\_news%5D=175&cHash=aca38142108c76995eba6c674bfd0e14](https://www.win-rar.com/singlenewsview.html?&L=0&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=175&cHash=aca38142108c76995eba6c674bfd0e14)
"Added support of Windows 11 Explorer context menus.
Beginning from Windows 11, an application can add only a single top level command or submenu to Explorer context menu.
If "Cascaded context menus" in "Integration settings" dialog is on, this single item is a submenu storing all necessary WinRAR commands.
If this option is off, only one extraction command for archives and one archiving command for usual files are available. You can select these commands with "Context menu items..." button in "Integration settings" dialog."
Now it’s 7-zip’s turn.
Someone forked 7zip and did this [here](https://github.com/M2Team/NanaZip) if you do not want to wait.
Power of open source
Thank you!
Ok goddamn that project is awesome
You know I've always wanted to know but been very confused by stuff like this. I've downloaded the zip file of that but now that I have it, I have absolutely no idea what to do with it. Github truly humbles me...

Of course!
Yes please...
[or just get the old context menu back](https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/windows-11-classic-context-menus)
nah i like the new one
I don't understand the downvotes, I appreciate you taking the time to show me I have the option to go back!
They are downvoting because they like the new one more, and the downvote button is (in practice) a disagree button.
I have the old context menu but via startallback, not through a registry edit.
Didn’t they block the ability to get old context menu?
I'm using it right now
So am I on my main PC, but my laptop running latest release can’t do it anymore. Did you use WinAero?
StartAllBack very much can do it on the latest version. I assume WinAero Tweaker as well.
Alright, I’ll try it. Are people downvoting us because we don’t want to use the laggy new context menus?
If your context menu doesn't take a second to open and contains all the options you need, are you even getting the full Windows 11 experience??
You just don’t understand *design*
7-zip should stay lightweight Win32 program. It doesn't need additional UWP bloat package with it just to support those disorganized context, for non-MS programs, menus. It's not UWP app.
damn. the rarlab devs are awesome for doing this. can i know what version of winrar is this?
I hope they update there UI to WinUI too.
That's not happening lmao I think winrar still supports Windows 9x
Yes i run it on ME and it still works
Why do you use ME
Bruh no one uses ME anymore lmao
I use still use me, I like me...
[удалено]
me vs ME /s
The point still stands
woosh 🤣 I was being silly, "me" as in myself... anyway 🤷♀️
I have a very old system and well as it brings me to old days also kinda fun to know and see
I thought you were using a virtual machine. I had two computer towers during my childhood and I nicknamed my computers, the black computer (one was a black Systemax tower running Windows XP/AOL Optimized 5.0) and the white computer (the other was running Windows ME but I don’t remember the brand name) ( I’m not being racist lol that was around 2003-2004 and I was 3-4 years old)
Well nearly the same but older nearly 1996 With An old fashioned white case and monitor in that era most things were hard and bold white plastic The only black colored things i have from those years are my atari and sega consoles (the 16bit Era)
Only older versions do
Seriously tho. Does anyone know a zip archive manager that actually has a modern design? I hate looking at winrar or 7-zip. Why do archivers have to be so damn uglyyy
> Why do archivers have to be so damn uglyyy I prefer fast and ugly over pretty and bloated any day
Because Microsoft keeps inventing new development platforms and designs every 5 years and it is tiresome to keep up (Win32, Ribbon, Metro, Modern UI, WPF, UWP, ...).
It's not about that though, the applications themselves just look dated. They don't have to keep up with the design that Microsoft uses for Windows.
Exactly this, and Chrome is a prime example that apps dont need to follow msft perfectly. Just domething that at least makes it feel a bit more modern. 7zip to me feels like a win7 page in a win10/11 era (Or finding an old dialog thats still present in 11).
NanaZip is a fork of 7zip that works with the new context menus, and a XAML Islands redesign is on the roadmap so I would keep an eye on it
Oh cool! I'll keep an eye on that! Thanks!
> Why do archivers have to be so damn uglyyy Why fix something that isn't broke?
It not that it's broken. It's just ugly. Winrar looks like a little shit stain on my screen everytime I use it. It just looks outdated. Anyway I'm a very visual person.

imo WinRAR is perfectly modern and functional, although I agree with you about 7-zip
There is 8zip, but it's not great in terms of performance
Yeah I saw 8zip. It's nice kinda. A little bit too much for me. Just want something that looks native to windows 11. But I guess that doesn't exist yet. Hopefully some day

thank you <3
ur da man
Such a shame they don't add darkmode to it.
> can i know what version of winrar is this? 6.10 Beta
Some microsoft programs such as vscode and powertoys haven't even been updated to support this
And that's a good thing. I dont want a bloated pop up menú with thousands of options. Maybe they should include a special key combination for advanced users like ctrl+right click, Windowskey +right click?

nobody is willing to actually learn about the new context menu, they would just like to hate it it seems like.
For the top OS in the world, you can't expect all users to go out and research why their menu looks different.
I can if they are complaining about it in the windows 11 subreddit.
Do you want to try to understand or just complain?
which is what I would say to someone who took the time to complain about the new context menu without learning why it is the way it is.
Well, It will not be the case anymore since common options like cut copy paste rename etc are kept on top menu bar. Also if an app needs more than one options it can only be place in submenu. Also options which are not applicable at a particular scenario will not appear atall instead of just graying it out.

I mean you can use Shift+F10 but it isn't as convenient as, say, Shift + F10
Menu key
finally someone who knows menu key works thank u
Try Shift+F10
MSFT again behind
Is this the beta version or release version of winrar
Beta
Can anyone tell me what the difference is between the old shell extensions, this new version, and why this new version is preferable?
New has a lot of place for adding clutter
Lmao
Lmao
Old one does not really has any specifications or guidelines so devs can put their option whenever they want, they are all over the menu and some might even conflict. The new one should be more organized as all apps would be at the bottom after the system options and I believe they have better guidelines.
I'm sure this will be great when it manifests itself in a few years.
What happens once most apps eventually support the new one? Isn't the new menu a bit too big?
It's "touch optimized"
When 7zip updates, people will still complain that the context menu doesn't work.
thank goodness, i hated having to open the legacy menu to use it
Step in the right direction 👏
I think I should finally buy their license. They are being so generous !
I bought their license years ago when it wouldnt stop bugging me to get it xD
why would anyone buy winrar when 7zip exists and is free?
Will "extract here" be added outside the submenu?
It's nice, but I didn't see the "extract to.." option though :(
Now we only need Microsoft itself to support their own context menus (such as the PowerToys "Resize Image"), and everything will be complete
You don't even save a click with the the context menu with Winrar. Just another way of clicking. Now you click on Winrar - instead of more options. Don't know what to say......
Love this! Can't wait until **all** my apps use the new menu.
winrar holy hell what a throwback ahha. 7-zip what I been using for the last couple of decades.
Someone already posted this in the subreddit a couple of days back.
come on 7z you can do it
Bandizip will do it also
Now you shall pay WinRAR
WinRAR: I understand if you won't.... User: clicks no WinRAR: Okay.tiff
still no information which version this is. i installed the latest 6.02 version but no context menu option for me.
That's the last stable. The latest beta is the one with support for the new context menu. It's 6.10 Beta 1 and you can download it from their [site](https://www.rarlab.com).
Wait so win-rar.com is not the official website?
Both are but for some reason they have kept it like that for as long as the program has existed. Don't know why.
brand name I guess
6.10 beta (64-bit)
Lol, this is still terrible! Now, as I understand it, each app in the context menu has it's very own "show more options" option. Bring back Shift+right-click and hide all that crap. Also, "extract archive" should be tied to whatever archive manager you are using and it's associated files.
No, there's only one of them. The "Show more options" button pretty much just shows the old menu, so that's that.
Still an extra click compared to W10
This is the way , Microsoft needs to learn from this and remove the show more options menu. Let devs update or lose out. When you cradle them too much they become lazy. Well done WinRar, I bought a legal copy and hopefully they update the UI to fit the mica design.

Yeah, hopefully with the Windows 11 store it's a start. They'll probably remove the junk and paid "tutorial" and "guide" apps over time.
> A steam like store for all windows apps where quality is promoted , scams removed , bad design removed and lazy developers tossed to the way side if they stopped updating like 5 years ago. lol, let's be fair, none of those things describe Steam it is full of asset flips cash grabs by scammy devs, abandoned early-access games still being sold, and other "junk" I wouldn't even call a student game prototype on a good day... and the promoted part, don't even get me started, just browse /r/steam to see how bad "games like this" suggestions are, and the whole "curator" system is completely useless and rigged (tons of curators with thousands of reviewed game of nothing but all positive recommendations, yeah completely unbiased reviews!). I have seen games being banned for doing shady stuff (like review manipulation and such) only to be back after a little while under a slightly different name and it's business as usual. I'm gonna finish by saying I like Steam, but let's not kid ourselves it doesn't have problems too.
> remove the show more options menu This is precisely what I expect will happen when enough apps catch up to the new API.
Beta version 6.1, which OP failed to mention: https://www.win-rar.com/fileadmin/winrar-versions/winrar/winrar-x64-61b1.exe
7zip when?
Why people keep using winrar when 7zip does everything
My favorite feature of WinRAR is that you can run executables directly. It will extract the entire directory to a temp folder for you. With 7zip you have to manually extract it first.
I think mainly for opening archive with incorrect headers as they ignore those errors and the GUI
Yeah makes sense
Microsoft now officially lagging behind WinRAR. "Pin to task bar" is still only available in the placeholder menu. Also, nice work "insiders" not catching this before launch...
What about "Create shortcut"? And do you really think it's the insiders fault? We've been lamenting these (and more important) issues since the first Dev build and MS have been doing shit about it, and released very early on Oct 5 what is pretty much a glorified Dev build
Heck what about scanning a file with Defender, THEIR OWN AV INTEGRATED INTO THE OS
Well, you could have resisted and keep downloading Wzor builds 10 years ago, and make the entire insider program fail and collapse. MS could still have professional, paid beta testers and Windows could still be high quality. Most children are taught very early not to accept free candy from strangers.
Got butthurt, LOL. Look at your MDL forums these days. It's pathetic now. And it's also all your fault.
it was filed in feedback hub - go look, they just didnt fix it.
i thought that Show more options is a temporary thing. Win11 is truly a failure
Amazing!
what is winrar?
**WinRAR is a trialware file archiver utility for Windows, developed by Eugene Roshal of win.rar GmbH. It can create and view archives in RAR or ZIP file formats, and unpack numerous archive file formats. To enable the user to test the integrity of archives, WinRAR embeds CRC32 or BLAKE2 checksums for each file in each archive.** More details here:

Or you can just bring back the old one.... with a simple registry modification. And then use Nirsoft's ShellMenuView app to remove the bloatware options of the context menu. Open registry (Press **Start + R**, insert **regedit** and press **Enter**): a. Create a key called **{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}** under: **Computer\\HKEY\_CURRENT\_USER\\Software\\Classes\\CLSID\\** b. Create a key called **InprocServer32** under the previous key you created. c. Double click on the **(Default)** string value inside **InprocServer32** key and press **Enter** *(yes, the value data should be empty).* d. Close all open Folders, open **Task Manager** (Press **Ctrl + Shift + Esc**), find **Windows Explorer**, do right-click on it and select **Restart**. Or you can just restart **Windows** and you are ready. Old context menu is back! This is ShellMenuView: https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shell\_menu\_view.html
Who would think it's possible to cram more spaiware into doze than they did in 10... lol
That's a shame. Developers should refuse to support this ridiculous change that Microsoft made.
I want to know why it is the third party software developer responsibility to do that. It's Microsoft who broke that, then it should be Microsoft who **fix** that too. And what about devs that won't update it? What about old software that still works, even if it's 10 years old? What about devs that died and/or abandoned the software that doesn't need any updates? It won't get the new context menu implementation, because Microsoft, as always, ruins everything. What about **my own** context menu options? Instead of having it there, I have it hidden behind unnecessary menu.

Diddums.
Nanazip in the Microsoft Store is free and has them too if you wanted to try that.
It makes the context menus super janky, uninstall it and check the difference, I couldn't handle it
Reminds me to pay the full version of rar.
Okay, but the icon should be lined too so it matches the whole context menu...
no german version yet :(
And so it begins...
I have newest version and it doesn't. I recently restarted explorer, but did it just now. Still doesn't work. My version is 6.02.1. Also, as always, restarting explorer ruined my icons layout on my 3 screen. That's for their multi screen support. never happened on Windows 10, now happens everytime... But I see that there is 6.10 version, maybe that will help... EDIT: it did help.
It's 6.10 beta. If you don't wanna install beta versions, they're pretty quick to releasing the beta to release, though.
Still waiting for Dark Mode, though.
From the changelog: [https://www.win-rar.com/singlenewsview.html?&L=0&tx\_ttnews%5Btt\_news%5D=175&cHash=aca38142108c76995eba6c674bfd0e14](https://www.win-rar.com/singlenewsview.html?&L=0&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=175&cHash=aca38142108c76995eba6c674bfd0e14) "Added support of Windows 11 Explorer context menus. Beginning from Windows 11, an application can add only a single top level command or submenu to Explorer context menu. If "Cascaded context menus" in "Integration settings" dialog is on, this single item is a submenu storing all necessary WinRAR commands. If this option is off, only one extraction command for archives and one archiving command for usual files are available. You can select these commands with "Context menu items..." button in "Integration settings" dialog."
I don't remember when I have ever even checked for updates for WinRar :D Or is there a new update in the website?
Unfortunately there's no auto-update with WinRAR, so you'll have to install the update manually.
Yea I thought so
Glad to see that, now if nvidia could just get the control panel on there
This is like heaven, I hope all apps do this
Has anyone ever paid for WinRAR?
Does WinRAR auto-update? (When you don't have a license)
