How to remove .RAR optoins from Win 2K menus?

[Clueless in Seattle]

A while back I downloaded a file that was compressed with something
called RAR.

I ended up downloading and installing an RAR file utility called
WinRAR and now my Windows 2000 menus are cluttered with RAR menu
items.

For example, now in Windows Explorer, when I right click on a file
name, on the little menu that drops down, no less than *four* RAR
items now appear:

* Add to archive...
* Add to "Archive.rar"
* Compress and email...
* Compress to "Archive.rar" and email....

I find this a bit annoying and would like to clean up the clutter on
the menus. But I would prefer not to have to remove WinRAR
altogether.

How can I do this?

Open WinRAR itself......

On the top go to options/settings.

Hit the integration tab & in the shell integration portion uncheck
"Integrate WinRAR into shell."

Open WinRAR
Open "settings"
Open "integration" tab
Set it up the way you want
