Winrar and minimserve incompatibility

[DavidHB]

As there are IMO more capable archive handlers for Windows than WinRAR, I'm not sure that your fix was not actually the best solution. But, for peace of mind, you might like to know that you almost certainly could have fixed the problem by changing file associations in the Windows Control Panel. Uninstalling WinRAR should have removed the offending associations, so there's a good chance that all is now well.
