Select your files in Windows Explorer, right click on one, then choose "Add to Archive" :thumbs:

That's only the case if you integrated it into your shell. Otherwise, just open WinRAR, click the big "Add" button, pick a name for your archive, click the "Files" tab, and then add files by clicking the "Append..." button.

Which is enabled by default during the install. No offense to Revan, but if he's asking how to use it I doubt he changed many install options.

Ah, I didn't remember that, it's been a while since I installed it.
