1.0 – About this tutorial:

This tutorial explaines you how to extract files from compressed archives, using WinRAR.


1.1 – Download WinRAR:

First you have to download the WinRAR program.
Go to the official WinRAR website and download the program to your harddrive.


1.2 – Install WinRAR:

Locate your downloaded WinRAR.Exe setup file and run (double click) it.
For a quick install you can push “Next, next, next, ok..” untill the installer will finish succesfully.


1.3 – Use WinRAR to extract compressed files:

WinRAR archives (files) usually look like this (on your harddrive):



Now, if you just right click one of the WinRAR archives, you will see an option called “Extract Here”.
When you choose this option WinRAR will extract that archive to this location. All extracted files
will end up in the same directory as the RAR archive itself.

You may want to select a location where you want WinRAR to have the files extracted to.
To manage this, run (double click) on a WinRAR archive file and click on the “Extract In” button.
(My WinRAR version is in Dutch, that’s why it’s called “Uitpakken In” in the screenshot:



Now select the path (directory) where you want to have WinRAR to extract your files to.
In my example above it’s called “Doelpad (wordt indien nodig aangemaakt)” and my current
directory is set to: “C:\Users\ICaRuS\Desktop\New Directory”

Press “OK” and the files will be extracted.



That's it! You are good to go! Have fun.

This is the spot where I need the password to extract the files.

Hi rar paswordd ?

Hey. You can find the RAR password in the textfile in the bottom of each game-tutorial.

Hi VPNgamer, i don't see the textfile to open. I am uncertain too if it's been taken down or maybe it's something on my end to which i am unable to see it but any reply would be much apreciated here.

Sorry it's been a while, but what textfile are you referring to? Thanks.
