I've found this utility to be quite good at opening most formats of archive files:
http://www.7-zip.org/

It's open source (and is free); and seems to function quite well. I've not found may files it wouldn't handle.

Or I think winRAR works on that stuff.

Just download the english winRAR. When I rarely use Windows, I keep using a trial version that lasts forever.

Software is like sex. Don't pay for it unless you know from a buddy that it's gonna be good.

What istp said - Winrar is the program for rar files. Click on the first rar file and it'll decompress them all (if there's more than 1 in the series).
