How do you change a RAR file?

I downloaded a RAR file and told my computer to open it with the media player. This was a mistake because now when I go to extract the file it won't let me. Do any of you know how to change it back?

    right click , then 'select open with' open it with a program that can extract rar files.

    You can't do anything whit empty .RAR file, extract files in your .RAR file somewhere and play or execute them.

    Um, you need to extract the file. With WinRaR, maybe. Or that's what I use anyhow. It's fairly easy to use, Google it and you should be set.
