Help with .rar files

I downloaded a game that came compressed in diffrent .rar files and they were named rar.001 and instead of just deleting the .001 etc. i made windows think that .oo1 is a type of file and even if i rename it .rar it still thinks the file is a .001 file so can anybody help me make windows think that it is a .rar file agian

 

This same question has been answered about a zillion times.

Somewhere in that mix of .001's there will be a plain old .rar

Right click on THAT .rar, and choose "extract here" or "extract to..." if you want it to go somewhere else.

It will automatically combine and extract.

 

thx im going to see if that works

 

Well im looking at it rite now and there is no regular rar file. It is Metal_Gear_Solid_3_Subsistence_USA_PS2-ECHELON u can find it on most torrent sites and look theres no regular rar file it is just .001-.076

 

Then right click the first one in the series, .001, and choose "Extract here".

If it won't let you, double click it, choose "choose program from list", select winrar, then when it opens, click "extract to..." and go from there.

.001's are rar files.

 

well hello there,

i'm a newsgroup user, and also download warez in the *.rar and *.001 file format and occasionaly ther is a different format variant of the 001 format , that doesn't let you open and join the files together with winrar, however i found a program that works great with with split files, it called hjsplit.exe wich you find here:

first do a checksum the join , and your game will be extracted !!

hope this helps

Uhm...hold SHIFT and RIGHT CLICK...then "Open With"...and you can reassociate it w/ whatever you want...if that's what you want...I don't understand.
