CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
When all you've is got a hammer, every problem looks suspiciously like a nail. RarZilla is a great little utility for automatically unraring RAR archives, but it doesn't do much else. Depending on whether that's all you're looking for, RarZilla is either just the tool you need or woefully inadequate.
The program does a wonderful job of unzipping--sorry, unraring--RARs, and it provides three methods for achieving that goal. You can select the "RarZilla!" option from the context menu associated with any RAR file in Windows Explorer, you can double-click the RAR, or you can drag and drop the RAR onto the program interface. To aid in the last one, the program is permanently set to live on top unless you minimize it. We found that annoying, but your mileage may vary. It extracts the compressed files to the same folder in which the RAR lives. RarZilla is squarely aimed at those users who predominantly use the RAR format. Fans of other archive formats should look elsewhere for an extractor or a traditional archiving/unarchiving tool.
Publisher's description
From Philipp Winterberg :RarZilla Free Unrar is a beautiful decompression tool for RAR-archives that supports spanned archives as well as the extraction of password protected files. Decompression can be started by drag 'n' drop, double click or shell integrated context menu. To speed the whole process up, RarZilla has the option to define a default output folder or a default password or both.

Version: RarZilla Free Unrar 2.12
Pros: Does exactly what it says very quickly, without all the extra bells and whistles many programs have, which is what you want for an application of this type. I am completely happy with this program.
Cons: Nothing.

Version: RarZilla Free Unrar 2.12
Pros: Just click on any rar item and it will appear in a file folder with the same name, in the same place the rar item is. Easy to use, no fuss, no muss.
Cons: It would be nice if it had an option to send the unrar item to another place or folder.
