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.

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.
