Hello,
I'm trying to extract .zip files using WinRAR, and I do this quite often, but since the last time I used WinRAR (about 2 weeks ago), I'm getting an error message when I drag and drop my compressed file into the folder where I want to extract it. The error message:
! Unable to create folder C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\Temp\Rar$DRa5372.31483
Access denied.
Thank you in advance for your responses ;)

Hello,
you need to open WinRAR by right-clicking and then click on Run as administrator and try your drag-and-drop again.
OR
change the path in the WinRAR settings.

Thank you for your response, bazfile. That was my first instinct, but the error persists. I admit that the fact that the error message says it's impossible to create the temp folder worries me. Is it not accessible? Is it missing? What is the temp folder anyway?

The "Temp" folder, I know it but I wouldn't be able to explain it to you properly, so visit Malekal's site which will be better suited to explain it to you... https://www.malekal.com/dossier-temp-fichiers-temporaires-windows/

Not yet, I create a random folder and select it as the endpoint or do I need to do something specific?

You create a folder on the desktop, you choose it as the access path, and you see if it works or not.
It is present but hidden.
Windows Explorer, in the toolbar, View, hidden items --> check it to show/hide it.

This is what I told myself.
However, I am still running Windows 7, so if you have any idea where to display hidden folders on this OS, I'm all ears.

Hello,
I am now on Windows 10.
Go to this link instead... https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/view-hidden-files-0320fe58-0117-fd59-6851-9b7f9840fdb2
Use the 3rd method that seems to correspond to Windows 7.
Consider upgrading to Windows 10 (Windows 7 has not been updated since January 14, 2020) by using a USB drive... https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 Download the "Media Creation Tool".
Do not plan to upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10. Generally, the drivers for installed devices do not work.
