winrar files disapear
Oct 30th, 2009, 6:51am
 
Hi I'm hoping that someone can help me with my recent problem of when I right click on a winrar file, and select to extract the files to a folder, the program goes through the motions but when I look there is nothing there. This has just happened to me as I have been using winrar for years with no problems untill now - anyone help me out with this problem please.

Maybe the destination of the extracted files has changed. Do it again and pay attention to the destination.

I'm not sure why the .rar files disappear, but this used to be the default behavior of pkzip too. I guess the assumption is once you have restored the files that you don't need the archive anymore.

I have been using PeaZip which can read RAR files and restore them and does not remove the .rar file when done. And it is free.
