[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1542391, member: 71075"] Simply put, don't. Users should never be downloading and placing files in locations outside of their user folder manually. Unline Windows, where, for the most part, anything goes, you really ought to limit yourself to the user folder. I'm not familiar with that application but I imagine that it will create file associations with RAR files and thus, you should be able to simply double click them. If you're not talking about the root location on the OS X install, you can ignore my previous suggestion. If that is indeed the case, I'm not sure what you mean by "root" and how, if it's simply an external drive, it's any different than any other location. [/QUOTE]
