RarZilla Free Unrar is a beautiful decompression tool for RAR-archives that supports spanned archives as well as the extraction of password protected files.

Here are the answers to some frequently asked questions about RarZilla Free Unrar and RAR files:
How can I unrar a RAR-archive quickly with RarZilla?
To unrar a file choose one of the three following methods:
Drag 'n' drop the compressed file on the RarZilla picture above the short instructions.
Or: Right-click the RAR-archive and choose "RarZilla!" in the context menu.
Or: Double-click the RAR file.
How can I play a RAR file directly?
RAR files cannot be played directly, as they are compressed. You need to decompress the included media file. That file can then be played using winamp or a media player like media player classic.
To decompress a RAR file start "RarZilla Free Unrar" and drag'n'drop that file on the RarZilla picture above the short instructions.
How can I define a default output folder?
Go to the folder that contains RarZilla.exe (probably C:\Program Files\RarZilla Free Unrar\)
Use notepad to create a text file named "folder.txt"
Just put one line in it with the path your desired default output folder (e.g.: F:\Media)
From whence does one get a password?
You do not need a password to use RarZilla - except the
compressed file is protected by a password, than RarZilla
asks you to enter that password. If you do not have that
password, you need to contact the person that gave the
RAR file to you, because only this person knows the
password for this file.
How can I define a default password?
Go to the folder that contains RarZilla.exe (probably C:\Program Files\RarZilla Free Unrar\)
Use notepad to create a text file named "password.txt"
Just put one line in it with your desired default password (e.g.: p78.de)
Who is RarZilla?
The RarZilla character is taken from the beautiful book "Fifteen Feet of Time", a book about things that you always wanted to do but never had the time for.
The book featuring RarZilla is available as paperback and as free ebook. Watch the preview video:
How can I stop the password dialog from popping up?
Go to the folder that contains RarZilla.exe (probably C:\Program Files\RarZilla Free Unrar\)
Use notepad to create a text file named "silent.txt"
Just put one line in it with your desired default password (e.g.: p78.de)
BE CAREFUL: RarZilla now always tries to unrar password protected files with
the password given in silent.txt without prompting. So, if you try to unrar files
protected by a different password, it simply will not work until you delete silent.txt
or change the password in it.
How can I change RarZilla's skin?
RarZilla does not support skins. But there is a program called "Free RAR Extract Frog" that uses the award winning RarZilla engine and supports skins. Here's how to change that program's skin:
Go to the "Free RAR Extract Frog" page and download and install it. Make sure that you uninstall RarZilla first.
To use a JPG or BMP image as new skin start "Free RAR Extract Frog" and drag'n'drop that image file on the picture of the frog above the short instructions.
To switch back to the standard frog skin double-click the image. You will get the best results when you make your images fit (484*242 Pixel).
