    I haven't touched winrar in the last 15 years, and never had problems

    We are not talking about WinRAR, we are talking about Windows decompressing WinRAR archives. So Windows will throw an error, so it's not going to perfect for everyone. But for day to day stuff, it's a nice addition.

    Ah, well MS tried to copy that marvel that was zipfolders in 96 or so, and all it did was a ugly knock off. A qurter of century later they have yet to understand how such thing should work.

    I'm not sure but I think it's not even good at decompressing pw protected zips, not just .rars or .7zs

    In the meantime they managed to kill the develpoers of zipfolders that was by far the most brilliant archiver ever appeared in windows.

    With that installed any zip file was treated by the OS like a REAL folder, you could even install Office in a zipped file.

    Something like the ntfs compression but using normal zip files readable by any compressor.

    I never liked using Windows for ZIP files, and I'm fairly sure I won't like it handling RAR files either. I paid for Winrar several years ago, and I will continue using it. I also keep the latest version of 7-Zip installed, and sometimes use it from the command line. But if I'm going for a GUI, it's always Winrar. YMMV

    Not to be pedantic, but I'm curios to understand why you feel to tank explicitly someone who re-linked something I posted one hour earlier.

    Because you posted a link with absolutely no context. And Only now when I compare links, do I realise that your link is the same. So thank you for sharing!
