About this tag
The 'random file' tag on WindowsForum.com covers a specific issue where WinRAR on Windows 8 extracts a file from a zipped folder but then opens a different, unrelated file from the same directory instead of the intended one. This problem has been reported on Sony Vaio laptops running Windows 8 64-bit with WinRAR 4.2 64-bit.

The tag focuses on this particular extraction and file-opening behavior anomaly.
