Solved! I remembered that someone had suggested telling WinRar
to run in Win7 compatibility mode and to run as administrator to
solve the error message problem reported earlier. I undid that
change and this new problem went away.
I don't know why those changes caused the UAC to be invoked and
I've given up wondering why anything in a Micro$oft environment
does the things it does.

Don,
Are the files you are opening somewhere different than in your
documents area? Win7 can be pretty finicky about where files
are. I know Win7 gives you problems creating a .txt file in C:\
(yes, the root of the C: drive) unless you are the Super Admin
(that is the first Administrator account, not just any
Administrator account).

Why has UAC suddenly started alerting me every time I try to
open/extract a ZIP or RAR file. Since the last time it worked
without the alert I have done nothing but move some files and
folders around and send a few emails.
This happened in just the last hour. From working OK to getting
UAC alerts.
WinRAR doesn't try to make changes to Windows settings or the
computer..
Does it? It never has before that I know of.
