RAR files are a popular compression format, and this free extractor offers reliable service with a skinnable interface.
Free RAR Extract Frog is oddly named, but it performs well in extracting RAR files. The interface is simply a large pane with a large illustration of a frog. However, you can change the graphic simply by dragging and dropping a JPEG or other graphics file into the pane. The interface includes four other tabs: About, Links, Thanks, and Appreciation. All but the Links tab offers obvious items related to the application itself. It holds links to freeware and wallpapers that have no clear relationship to this application.
For its primary function, this tool performed well in our tests. Extracting files was simple: we dragged and dropped a RAR file to the pane, and the tool automatically extracted it and saved it in the same folder as the original compressed file. RAR Extract Frog performed its chores quickly and efficiently.
This tool is simple to use, but it doesn't offer a lot of bells and whistles, so advanced users wanting a feature-laden application may want to give this program a pass. But users wanting a basic extraction tool will find RAR Extract Frog a friendly addition to their tool boxes.

From Philipp Winterberg:
Free RAR Extract Frog is a new extraction tool for RAR-archives that supports spanned archives as well as the decompression of password protected files. Start the extraction of a RAR file by drag-and-drop, double click, or shell integrated context menu. To speed the decompression process up, Free RAR Extract Frog has the option to define a default output folder or a default password or both. Change the program's skin by simply dropping a JPEG image or screensaver on the image above the short instructions. The package comes with example RAR files, example skins, and short instructions in over 50 languages

"Works as advertised; free is a great price."
Version: Free RAR Extract Frog 5.00
Pros
Small, fast, not a single problem to date. Can select where to place files, or let the program decide where to put the results (I like to be in control). Configure Windows to always use RAR Extract Frog with a .rar file then click on the file to be converted.
Cons
Have not found any.
Summary
This is a utility everyone should have in their toolbox. Thanks CNET - it was on your recommendation that I tried RAR Extract Frog.

"Easy and reliable!"
Version: Free RAR Extract Frog 5.00
Pros
As easy as 1, 2, 3! And it handles them all:
* Handles all standard RAR files (including latest RAR format version).
* Handles all multipart/splitted/multivolume RAR files.
* Handles all self-extracting RAR files.
* Handles all password protected/encrypted RAR files.
* Handles even hidden RAR files like .cbr and others... :-)
If you want to unrar - this is your tool. ;-)Cons
If you speak a language that is not included in the 50+ available languages, you will have to figure out for yourself how to click the "Unrar..." button and select your file... ;-)
Summary
It's a keeper.
