I have a .rar file that Explorer considers to be of type 'html', per the Explorer 'type' column.
How can I convince Windows that this is a .rar file?
Thanks.

Hello Reviewboy, and welcome to Vista Forums.
This is because by default Vista is not able to read or open a RAR file. To do so you will need to install a 3rd party program like the free 7-Zip, open it's "Options" settings, and set 7-Zip to be associated to open RAR files.
Hope this helps,
Shawn
