Maybe it was called RARFS for windows? i forget.Alternatively why not hook into something like this or have hooks to winmount (great program commercial though) to mount a virtual drive from a (whatever) compressed file.given that all of these "zeraw" rar files people speak of have no compression the RARFS/FUSE mounting should be done at the o/s level imo but it would be nice if mediaportal could turn it on/off or build it in.xbmc linux folks were talking about using rarfs to mount these rar files initially until the full implementation is done. Alternatively you could get the source for XBMC and figure out how it does this. I'm guessing fuse-32-win with rar support or hooks to winmount both would be a nifty idea. i like the free approach of course. Perhaps on launch of mediaportal, you could enable the RARFS, then when it closes or crashes <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> you could unload it to not interfere with other rar operations.google around you might find the dude that wrote this along time ago.iirc 2005 era. I mean windows lets you use zip files as folder by default, you'd think someone would be able to implement shell integration for rar/zip/iso/whatever. Winmount is kinda too hardcore since it allows writing too. and its commercial <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" />.
