Go to the directory of the .rar file. Then choose the .rar file and click "Extract". Then click "OK" to extract to the same directory as the .rar file, or press the button that says "..." to choose the directory. Then click OK.

The file/files should extract in that directory, and you'll be able to open them with whatever program that fits their file extension. E.g. a .jpg file can be opened in paint, and an .mp3 can be opened in Realplayer.

There are 2 easy ways to do this.

1- right click on the file you want to open, and select 'open with'. Then, when it asks you what program you want to use, select '7zip'. 2- open 7zip, go to 'tools-> options' (at the top of the 7zip window), find the 'System' tab (it should open on this automatically) and then 'associate 7 zip with'- select .rar. I personally use 7zip to open all archived file type, so I pick 'select all', but you may, or may not want to do this.

.RAR (Roshal ARchive) is a archive file format for compressing. Like .ZIP(WinZip/7Zip) you will need a RAR software to create, edit or open any rar.

Rarlab are the owner of RAR archive format and the WinRAR software used to work with RAR. WindRAR is downloadable trough their website in several languages, operating systems and bit's.

When installed double click a rar to open or right click to unpack the files within.

.rar, .rev, .r00 and .r01 turned 20 years old in year 2013.

If your dragging the file on top of the jar then thats because the jar is a file and not a folder. If you drag a file on top of another file your say that you want to run file B with file A.
