WinRAR Alternative Use Tips

One, winrar can also edit ISO file

Currently, the most used CD image file is the ISO file, in general we want to use Winiso, winimage and other specialized tool software to edit it. However, if you have winrar in your computer and the version number is above 3.0, you can also edit the ISO file by winrar. You can do this by opening the Settings dialog box under the options → settings menu in WinRAR, and clicking "√" in front of the "ISO" checkbox under "General Options →winrar associated Files".

II. Management of recycling stations

File deleted and want to find back is often in the work, so many friends in the deletion is to put "rubbish" in the Recycle Bin, rather than delete directly. However, when there are more files in the Recycle Bin or if you want to recover a file in the deleted folder, the file management function provided by the Recycle Bin is far from the requirement, because the files and folders cannot be opened, so it is cumbersome to view the contents of the files or folders before they can be restored.

By chance, I found that WinRAR (the author uses the version winrar V3.00 Beta 4) can conveniently manage the Recycle Bin. You know that Windows will be in each partition to create a recycle Bin corresponding folder Recycled, enter the WinRAR main interface, in the address bar to enter any partition in the corresponding folder of the Recycle Bin directory (such as crecycled, you can also use the button to the left of the address bar to select the path), Can browse the contents of the partition Recycle Bin (see figure), we can open the file or folder to view, and use simple drag to recover the file or folder to any location, come on try it!

Note: Browsing files in the Recycle Bin in WinRAR, file and folder names are not displayed properly and can only be differentiated by content and size.

Third, the best file Search Assistant 1. Find a file of a specific name

1. Click the "Find" button on the main window toolbar to open the "Find Files" window, enter the file name in "file name to find" or the filename containing the wildcard character to find the appropriate files. Add spaces between different types of filenames to find different types of files at the same time. As you enter ".htm??.html" in the figure, you can find all the files with the. htm extension in the target folder and the file with the name ". html" that has a two-character file extension.

2. Find files that contain specific content

To find a file with a specific content, simply enter the specific string contained in the target file in the string to find. It looks for the target file type in addition to ". htm", ". html", and also supports ". txt", ". Doc", ". rtf", ". WPs", and so on.

3. Find from a compressed file

The General Lookup tool does not support finding in compressed files, even though support is often limited to compression formats. This is also the most important reason why I recommend WinRAR to you as a search Assistant. If you want to find in a compressed file, simply select the Find in Compressed Files check box. Of course, you can also specify a compressed file type.

Four, let "file encryption Master" laid off

"File encryption Master" presumably everyone is very familiar with, is the good hand of encrypting files. But WinRAR's encryption function is not weak, but the online hack software for WinRAR is everywhere, but it does not mean that WinRAR is not safe at all. Now to introduce a special method of encrypting folder: Put the folder to be compressed and a JPG file together, and then select both the folder and JPG files, right-click, in the Popup menu, select "Add to Compressed file" and then in the pop-up window, "compress" a "save", click " OK ". Finally, the newly generated "*.rar" extension is changed to "*.jpg". Try, the picture can still see, who will know that there is a folder in it? Use the time to change the extension back to unzip. Note: The folder should not be too big, or it will be out of the way.

Five, crack encrypted folder

Introduced on the Internet some use scripting language to encrypt folders, and use the Recycle Bin to hide the folder, in fact, most of these can be easily winrar to crack. To do this, open the registry, and then modify the {5ef4af3a-f726-11d0-b8a2-00c04fc309a4} option directly.

Vi. merge and restore MPEG files quickly with WinRAR

We often use the "MPEG file Merge" tool included with super King梁肇new to merge multiple MPEG files, although this is easy to do, but it is more difficult to restore the merged files back.

With WinRAR can quickly and well to complete the above operation, the biggest advantage is at any time want to close clash, want to divide the points.

Select the multiple MPEG files to be merged, right-click, select "Add to Compressed File", will pop up a window, in "Compressed file name" Enter the merged filename, be sure to change the default extension ". rar" to ". mpg", in the "Compression mode" drop-down list, select "Save", Click OK to merge multiple MPEG files.

The MPEG files merged in this way can be easily restored back to the pre-merged MPEG files, just need to change the merged MPEG file extension to ". rar", and then open it with WinRAR, you will see the pre-merger of those MPEG files, decompression can be achieved.

This method can also be used to quickly merge and restore MP3 files.

Seven, skillfully use WinRAR design power-on password (especially WIN98)

1. Open "Start" menu, execute "search"/"File or folder" command, pop Up file Find dialog box;

2, in the dialog box "name" Setting box, enter the file to find the name of Explorer.exe, in the "Search" box to set the search scope is C, click the "Start Find" button, find Explorer.exe, and note its specific path, generally "c:windows" folder;

3, run Notepad program, create a new blank file, and enter the detailed path and name of Explorer.exe, here we enter "C:windowsexplorer.exe";

4. Execute the "file"/"Save" command to save the newly created text file as "Passwd.bat";

5. Right-click on "Passwd.bat", then execute "Properties" command in the context menu, open the File's Properties dialog box, select "Program" TAB;

6, select the "Close on exit" option in the label page, then set "Run as" to minimize, then click "OK" button, the system can automatically create a passwd.pif file for Passwd.bat;

7, open the WinRAR program interface, click the "Add" button, open the "file name and Parameters" dialog box, select the "General" tab, and on the corresponding label page, select the "Create self-release format profile" option, and in the "File file name" Enter a newly created compressed file name Passwd.exe;

8, then open the "Advanced" tab page, with the mouse click "SFX Options", and then the program will automatically pop up the "Advanced self-release options" interface, in the interface of the "General" tab, we Can "run after release" setting bar to enter our previous common Passwd.bat file name;

9. Check the "mode" tab in the "Advanced self-release options" screen and select the "Unpack to temp" option on this tab, then enter the password hint in "Optional question" and enter the title of the password hint in the "Ask title". This way we can get the password when we forget it.

10, complete the above settings, click the OK button, you can complete Passwd.exe self-extracting file creation work, and then Passwd.bat and Passwd.pif are added;

11, return to the WinRAR program interface, execute "file"/"Password" command, to set a new access password for Passwd.exe compressed package file, which is the password we designed for the system boot;

12. Rename the previously generated Passwd.exe file to "Explorer.exe" and replace the new Explorer.exe with the old Windows system Explorer.exe file, restart the computer, we will find that the system's Boot password box is no longer a "device", do not enter a password or the wrong password can not be entered into the Windows system.

Eight, will never be killed the Trojan bundle machine

The bundling machine is a common software used by the horse players to bundle the service side of the Trojan and other files to deceive the other party to run. Now a lot of bundling machines will be killed. Now introduce a binding machine that will never be killed--winrar.

WinRAR is a compression/decompression software commonly used on the internet, supporting a variety of compression formats including ZIP, high compression rate, and now more and more people like to use WinRAR to compress software.

With its self-extracting and file-running functions, the basic requirements of the bundling machine can be realized.

First we select two files "Server.exe" and "my photos. jpg", right click to add to "Xxxxx.rar". (xxxxx is the directory where your files are located) and then double-click to open the generated RAR file, click the self-extracting icon on the toolbar. Select the advanced self-extracting option in the dialog box that pops up. In the "Decompression path" to fill in the path you want to unzip,%systemroot%temp represents the system installation directory of the Temp folder, typically the C:winnttemp folder. "Run after decompression" in the input Trojan server "Server.exe", "Before extracting", enter "my photos. jpg". There is a certain degree of deception here. When the generated program runs, it calls the default associated picture viewer to open the "my photos. jpg", which will not run "Server.exe" until you close the Picture Viewer program, so you can play a certain role, so the order must not be reversed, otherwise it will be out of the way.

Now click on the "Advanced" tab and select "Hide All" and "Overwrite all Files" options. These two options are to allow the RAR to be uncompressed when the window pops up. Then click on the "Text and Icons" tab and select the icon you like.

Click OK to return, in the same directory will generate a RAR with the same name of the EXE file, this is the "bundle" after the file. You can also rename the file. Like "my photo. Jpg.exe". Note that the file suffix name must be exe.

Advantages:

1, WinRAR "bundle" of the file is never killed, do not worry about which day antivirus software will aim at your "bundle."

2, such as the first normal program run after the end of the service, there is a certain degree of confusion.

Disadvantages:

1, the generated program is slightly too large, I use WinRAR3.0 generated exe than RAR file a lot larger, if it is "bundle" large files should also be.

2, the operation is more troublesome.

Postscript:

1. All the above operations are tested and passed under winxp+winrar3.0.

2, advanced self-extracting-mode Select the open mode Select the Hide Startup dialog box, if you choose to hide all, then the picture is not visible (this is the case in XP).

Add: One more thing to note: for self-extracting files, I usually choose the method is anti-health selection, and then select the menu extract to the folder, so that no matter whether the self-extracting file is bundled with a Trojan will not be in! And in the released folder can clearly see the bundled Trojan server.

Nine, skillfully uses the compression software winrar extracts the picture

Our school organized a computer painting competition, asked students to use the system's own drawing software to complete the work, but also attached to the picture of the theme description. In addition, considering the excellent works on the school's website, but also to print out, so that students are required to save the work as BMP and JPG two format. When the students handed in the work, suddenly found a "serious" problem, because at that time only asked the students with instructions, and did not require the file format, the student's description of what format, the most important is that each student handed in is a folder, In order to compress and save their BMP format works and their explanatory documents, the JPG format works should be extracted and uploaded to the homepage of the school. These hundreds of folders, if one to select the file, I am afraid it will waste a lot of time, such a workload did not think, we have a few colleagues brainstorming, and really found a simple and practical method, listen to my slowly (we use the compression software is winrar).

1. As with normal backup compression, select all student Works folders, right-click, and select "Add to Package" from the popup menu.

2. In the "Compress file name and Parameters" dialog box, click the "Files" tab. Here we can find the "files to add" and "files to exclude" Settings in the dialog box shown in Figure 2. When we want to extract the JPG-formatted artwork, the other files are ignored and the ".jpg" is added to the "Files to add" section. This compresses the resulting compressed package to contain only JPG format works. When we want to exclude JPG files, simply add ".jpg" to the "files to exclude" below. You need to operate on multiple file types simply by separating the extension type with a space. With this kind of operation, the results we need are coming out immediately, and a sense of accomplishment comes to mind. The above methods of operation, and there is not much technical content, mainly the problem of thinking. Usually we use compression or more, but at the beginning did not think of this, it can be seen that each software has its alternative use, as long as you usually more observation, more summary, there will be a new harvest, I hope the method of this article will help you.

X. Automatic shutdown of the computer

First, let's take a look at the WinRAR command mode shutdown command is "-ioff". If you mate with other parameters, you can implement an automatic computer power off the computer when an operation finishes. (If the hardware must support power off) For example, when you add all the specified files to a compressed file, the computer shuts down. Enter the following command on the command line: RAR a-ioff piao *.txt, note: Piao represents the compressed file name, *.txt means that all files in the TXT format in this folder are added to the package.

Xi. using WinRAR to break through the restrictions of Internet cafes management software

In internet cafes friends are often subject to the Internet Bar management software restrictions, with WinRAR can let us re-find freedom.

First of all, download winrar from the Internet, but the Internet Café management software will prohibit downloading files. Therefore, we must first break through this restriction. Browse the Web page in a browser, view the source code of the Web page, and then delete all of the contents, and write the following content:

[Version]

Signature= "$CHICAGO $"

[DefaultInstall]

Delreg=shanchu

[Shanchu]

HKCU, "Softwaremicrosoftwindowscurrentversioninternet SettingsZones3", 1803,

Save As any file with an. inf extension, and then click the left mouse button to select the file (because right mouse button is disabled, so use this method to break the right mouse button is disabled), while holding down the SHIFT+F10 key, you can display the right mouse button menu, select "Install" The above content can be imported into the registry, thus breaking the download file limit, so that the download winrar.

After the installation is complete, run winrar, select "Change Drive" in WinRAR's "File" menu, select a disk such as C: You can enter the hard drive. Then we go to the C:windowssystem directory and find the "Show Desktop. SCF" File and double-click to run, and the entire desktop will go back to the original Windows desktop.

If you want to use the control Panel, you can type File:///c:/windows/control.exe in the address bar of your browser (assuming that Windows is installed under the C-Drive Windows folder), the Control Panel window will appear. Or, in the browser address bar, type: file:///::%7B20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D%7D%5C::%7B21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D% 7D, you can also open the Control Panel. Now, the Internet Bar management software can't control you?

12, refuse to use WinRAR bundled malicious program

With the improvement of people's safety awareness, Trojan Horse, hard disk bombs and other malicious programs become more and more problematic, so those who have the ulterior motives and think of many ways to disguise themselves, using WinRAR self-extracting program bundled malicious program is one of the means.

The attacker can put the Trojan and other executable files, such as Flash animation in the same folder, and then add the two files to the archive file, and make the file as EXE format self-release file, so that when you double-click the self-release file, will start Flash animation and other cover-up files while quietly running Trojan files! This will achieve the purpose of Trojan horse growers, that is, running the Trojan server program. And this is very good effect, the other side is very difficult to detect, because there is no obvious signs exist, so the current use of this method to deceive each other running Trojan is very common.

The self-extracting file made by WinRAR can not only be used to hide the Trojan server program, but also can be used to modify the registry of the runner! The result is that as long as someone double-clicks the WinRAR self-extracting program that runs the hands and feet, it will automatically modify the registry key value, just like a malicious Web page is generally dangerous! And the whole process will not have to import the registry when the prompt information (the person who only need to make a self-extracting file when the regedit with "s" parameter can be, the specific method not mentioned here, to prevent someone to use)! Not only that, The attacker can also put this self-extracting file and Trojan server program or hard disk bombs such as jiangmin bombs and other winrar bundled together, and then made into self-extracting files, so that the threat to everyone will be even greater! Because it can not only destroy the registry, but also destroy the hard disk data, think it is not very scary?

It is not difficult to see, WinRAR's self-extracting function is really too powerful, it can make the person can not be programmed in a short period of time to produce a very vicious malicious program, by giving the generated self-extracting file to a person easily interested in the name sent to others, or directly in the site or forum and other places, to format each other's hard disk Deleting files, planting trojans, obtaining system privileges, etc., is very likely, very easy to achieve. The scariest thing is that it's even harder to recognize a self-extracting file by using WinRAR to change the icon. And for the self-extracting file containing Trojan horse or malicious program, many popular anti-virus software and Trojan horse killing software can not find out the problem exists! If you don't believe it, you could do an experiment and you'll know the result. For well-known reasons, do not say which antivirus software can not be detected, we can try.

What is the difference between a normal self-extracting file and a self-extracting file bundled with a malicious program? or how to tell if the self-extracting program contains malicious programs? It's simple! As long as you can find that there are multiple files hidden in the self-release file, especially multiple executables, you can decide it contains malicious programs! So how do you know what files are included in the release file? A simple way to identify is: Right-click the WinRAR self-release file, in the pop-up menu select "Properties", in the "Properties" dialog box you will find more than ordinary EXE file two more tags, respectively: "File" and comments, click on the Comments tab and look at the comments, and you'll find out what files are in it, so you can be aware of the best way to identify a malicious program file bundled with WinRAR.

To tell you a way to avoid the self-extracting program do not run directly, but choose the right-click menu "Open with WinRAR", so you will find out what is in the file.

13, magical winrar clean desktop

In the process of using Windows, we have to add such a link to the desktop, and sometimes in order to facilitate the diagram, we simply put a file or folder on the desktop. A long time, the entire desktop becomes "colorful", let a person dazzling. So, how to clean up these "rubbish"? A manual delete is certainly not the best policy, and every time it is necessary to do so also has a small workload. In fact, we just use the WinRAR to be able to make a "desktop cleaning machine" easily.

First, we need to identify the desktop icons that we want to keep. Once you are sure, you can make a list of winrar files. Suppose we are using the Windows XP operating system, the system directory is c:windows, and the current user is USER01. Since icons other than my computer, My Network Places, and other icons are added later, they are located in the C:documents and settingsUSER01 Desktop folder. All we have to do is write the icons and files that need to be kept to the file list, for example:

C:documents and settingsUSER01 Desktop Qq2003.lnk

C:documents and settingsUSER01 Desktop Etants.lnk

C:documents and settingsUSER01 Desktop Foxmail.lnk

C:documents and settingsUSER01 Desktop darling.jpg

C:documents and settingsUSER01 Desktop work

Save the file as a D:cleandesklist.txt file (or as a different file name) when you are finished typing.

Then right-click in the D:cleandesk folder, select "new → shortcut", and type in the input box under "Please type the location of the item":

"C:Program Fileswinrarwinrar.exe" A-x@d:cleandesklist.txt-df-r d:cleandeskdesk.rar "c:documents and settingsUSER01 Desktop *. * "and name the shortcut" desktop cleanup. "

The above command means to compress all the contents of the Desktop folder except those listed in the list to Desk.rar, and delete the source files after compression. For the specific meaning of each parameter, you can refer to WinRAR's help file.

Now, by double clicking on the "Desktop Cleanup" link, you will soon find that other icons are automatically erased by WinRAR, in addition to the items listed in the list and the icons given by the system. If you find that the desired icon has been cleared after the cleanup is complete, it doesn't matter that you can open the Desk.rar package and the deleted desktop files are hidden here!

14. Batch Build Folder

If you need to create many of the same folder structures often (for example, when backing up data). Then you can use WinRAR to do this repetitive work. How do you do that? First, in the "explorer" to set up multiple folder structure (including its sub-folder), and then select and right-click on these folders, in the Popup shortcut menu, select the "WinRAR" submenu of the "Add to compressed File" item, in the dialog window that appears, tick the "compression options" in the Ribbon Create a self-releasing format profile complex option, click the OK button. Then rename the generated EXE file to Folders.exe. in which folder in the future to create the above folder, just copy the file to that folder, double-click Run Folders.exe, and then click the "Install" button.
