| Feb 22, 2013 at 18:49 | comment | added | Karan | @Ramhound: Thanks for the unjustified downvote. There is no EXE association option while installing WinRAR, only options to add context menu items. File association is completely different from context menu handlers, and the question is about why certain WinRAR items show up for some EXEs, but not others. | |
| Feb 22, 2013 at 18:46 | comment | added | Ramhound | @Karan - Except its a setting both installing WinRAR and when creating the Archive. I was only pointing out the reason Windows is able to do this is because of the setting the author enabled. | |
| Feb 22, 2013 at 18:45 | comment | added | Karan | @Ramhound: Associating EXEs with an archiver's just silly, or else attempting to run any program (SFX or not) would simply open the file in WinRAR. There is no EXE association option in WinRAR or any other archiver I know of - that makes no sense at all. The question was about context menu items, not file associations. | |
