    Could you explain further what you are trying to do.
    Is it a case of changing the default program used to open them or simply the displayed icon ?
    Also are these .rar files or .zip

    Zip won't open rar, but rar will open zip.

    In all honesty it doesn't matter.
    WinRAR is a far more powerful application and will happily open most archive files.

    If it can be opened with WinRAR stick with that.
