RAR File Open Knife 2.40

RAR archive files have become extremely popular. That's because they have a greater compression than ZIP files and are more reliable, thus being the main method of grouping more files together and sharing them over the Internet. The Windows operating system doesn't have a feature for managing RAR files, as it only supports ZIP archives. Turning to software is a good idea in this case. But the question is what program to use. Even though there are a lot of archiving tools on the market, most of them are difficult to use and have a lot of useless features that a beginner won't need. One may just want to extract the contents of RAR files using a simple and intuitive interface.

This is just the idea behind RAR File Open Knife, a Windows application for extracting RAR files. There is nothing fancy about the installation wizard, as it can be completed with a few clicks. Besides that, the interface is also simple, as one can extract the contents or RAR files just by dropping those files over the program's interface. Additionally, clicking anywhere on the interface will display a file dialog box, which can be used to select the desired archive files. After completing this step, the user just needs to select the folder for saving the contents of the archive and that's it.

RAR File Open Knife is compatible with virtually any type of RAR file, no matter if it's protected with a password or not. Besides that, the extraction process is much faster than in the case of other similar applications. Even using an older computer, you will get a great deal of speed by using this application.

The interface supports an impressive number of languages and can be set to automatically detect the language of the operating system.

Pros:
It allows extracting the contents or RAR files just by dragging them over the interface. Besides that, the program is compatible with any type of RAR files, even protected archives. Furthermore, it includes a large list of languages and can automatically detect the system language.

Cons:
It cannot create archives, just extract them. Besides that, it supports only the RAR format. Furthermore, archives can be added to the program using drag and drop.

RAR File Open Knife is a utility for extracting the contents from any RAR archive.
