Adding Files To a RAR File
1. Run WinRAR and navigate the directory where your files are located.
2. Select the files and/or directories that you want to add to a RAR file and select menu "Commands" >
"Add files to archive". The "Archive name and parameters" dialog box shows up.
3. Enter the file and location of the new RAR file, like c:\temp\test1.rar, in the "Archive name" field
and click the OK button. The selected files and/or directories will be added to the RAR file.
4. Select menu File > Exit to close WinRAR.
5. Look at c:\temp\test1.rar. This is the RAR file that contains
the selected files and/or directories
WinRAR seems to be more user-friendly than WinZip. It can takes files and directories together,
and automatically adds sub-directories to the RAR file.
Extracting RAR Files
1. Run WinRAR and navigate to the directory where your RAR file is located.
2. Double click on the RAR file, like test1.rar. The files and directories in the RAR file will be
displayed in the WinRAR window.
3. Select the files and/or directories that you want to extract and select menu "Commands" >
"Extract to the specified folder". The "Extract path and options" dialog box shows up.
4. Enter the directory where you want the extracted files and/or directories to be stored, like
c:\temp\test, in the "Destination path" field and click OK. The selected files and/or directories
will be extracted to the specified directory.
Setting Password in RAR Files
To stop other people extract files out of your RAR files, you can set up a password
in a RAR file. Here is how:
1. Run WinRAR and navigate the directory where your files are located.
2. Select the files and/or directories that you want to add to a RAR file and select menu "Commands" >
"Add files to archive". The "Archive name and parameters" dialog box shows up.
3. Click the "Advanced" tab and click the "Set password" button. The "Archiving with password" dialog
box shows up.
4. Enter a password and click the OK button to close the "Archiving with password" dialog box.
5. Continue to finish adding the selected files to a RAR file.
6. Close WinRAR and run WinRAR again.
7. Navigate to the directory where the RAR is stored and double click on the RAR file.
The "Enter password" dialog box shows up.
8. Enter the same password you used when creating this RAR and click the OK button.
9. The files in the RAR file will be listed in the WinRAR window.
