[QUOTE="Osiris22x, post: 1075899, member: 3542"] As the above poster mentioned, the Mac can already handle regular ZIP files without any special software. Stuffit Expander or Unarchiver is necessary to extract RAR files. Uninstalling Unarchiver shouldn't be necessary. If it's trying to extract every single file you download, then something is wrong with its configuration. Does it even try to extract picture files and DMG files? Whatever files it's trying to open that you don't want it to, just tell Finder (in file inspector) to assign that filetype to another program and choose "Change All" to make it system wide. [/QUOTE]
