I have some “.rar” files on my Windows 8 PC and am curious how to unpack them to see what’s inside. From a bit of Google work, it appears that they’re archives of some sort kinda like a ZIP file. Help!

I’ve figured out most things in the new Windows 8 interface, except I can’t see how to easily reduce or shrink the file icons on my Win8 Desktop. Right now, they’re huge, which is good if I have clumsy fingers and touchscreen, but I have a laptop and excellent motor control, actually. I just want them to be smaller. What’s the easy path, Dave?
Every time I power up my Windows 8 system, I’m looking at an image of some weird tall building against a weird green landscape. I have no idea what it is. I want to change it. How do I change my lock screen wallpaper in Win8, Dave?
I just got a Microsoft Surface RT running Windows 8 and, wow, it’s really nice. Windows 8 is about a million times better on a touch screen than on a desktop or laptop computer with just a mouse. One thing I haven’t figured out yet, however, is how to take a screen shot or screen capture on my MS Surface. Got any tips for me?
I like posting photos onto Pinterest and sharing them with my friends, but sometimes they come out sideways! How do I rotate them so that they’re oriented properly on my Pinterest pinboards?
I know that Microsoft Windows 8 is designed to be used on a tablet computer or at least a touchscreen device, but I have an actual laptop with an actual keyboard and I miss all my classic Windows keyboard shortcuts. Most frustrating: Why doesn’t Alt+F4 close applications?
I’m eager to learn more about cloud storage and hook up Microsoft’s SkyDrive service with my Windows 8 laptop so I have an easy way to back content up to the Internet. Not sure how to get started, however, so I’m hoping you can step me through the process, Dave? How do I sign up and get started backing up and sharing documents with SkyDrive?
Now that I’ve moved into the world of Windows 8, I’m finally trying to get started with SkyDrive and find that it requires I log in to my Microsoft Account. I never even knew I had a Microsoft account, actually, but my guess is that it’s based on my Hotmail account info or something. In any case, I can’t remember my password. What’s my option to regain access and recover my password?
