How to view RAR format files?

How to view RAR files on a computer? This is a common question for friends who are new to RAR files. This guide will briefly introduce two methods of opening RAR files: using the system's built-in function or decompression software. Continue reading to learn about the detailed steps and related precautions. PHP editor Baicao will explain them in detail for you.

Take WinRAR software as an example. After installing the software, you only need to double-click the RAR compressed file to open the compressed package and see the files inside. Or after selecting the RAR file, right-click the mouse and select [Open with WinRAR] to open the compressed package.

Of course, we can also unzip the RAR file and put it in the folder to view it again. Just open the compressed package and click the menu tab [Extract to] to decompress it.

Or do not open the RAR file, but select the RAR file, right-click the mouse, and then select the decompression option in the WinRAR list.

Select [Unzip File] to open a new dialog box and set the save directory and other options;

Select [Extract to current folder] to extract directly to the directory where the RAR file is located;

Select [Extract to * file name], a folder with the same name as the RAR file will be automatically created, and the file will be decompressed and stored in this folder.

If the RAR file is password protected, whether you double-click to open the compressed package or decompress the compressed package, you need to enter the password before proceeding to the next step.

So if a password is set for the RAR file, remember to save it or remember it, because without the password, you cannot view or decompress the compressed package.

What if you accidentally forget your password? Since the decompression software does not have a "forgot password" function, even the person who set the password cannot retrieve the password in the decompression software.

In this case, we need to use other tools to solve the problem.
