WinRAR Shell Integration Problem

dcghost · 05-19-2008

I am running WinRAR 3.71 with x64 Vista Ultimate. The program runs fine, however I am unable to get the shell integration to work. It was enabled and I reset it, right clicked on a rar file and it still was not showing me the options of WinRAR.

WinRAR > Options > Settings > Integration > Select what you want.

Try as BladedThesis said, or try uninstall and reinstall WinRAR.

Actually, run WinRAR with administrative privileges, and then do as BladedThesis suggested. It's why you should let the installer run WinRAR when you install it and set your options then - because the installer runs with admin level privileges, and thus, when it runs WinRAR as a child process, grants the same level of privileges to the program - allowing you to make modifications.

If that does not work then you may need to uninstall and re-install as r2rX suggested.

I agree. It has worked fine in WinRAR 3.70 for both versions of Vista (32 and 64) without a problem.

It has always worked for me as well, but just in case you do not set the shell integration during install, you'll need admin level privileges to do it afterward.

OK I ran into a problem with Winrar...

If I use the "split to volume, bytes" option and select "DVD+R 4481MB" it creates a file too big for NTFS making it completely undeletable .

Used boot-disks, safe-mode and DOS and its still there...Guess im going to format the drive tonight :<
