Depending on what you checked during the WinRAR installation, you may not have the extract options when you right-click. In that case, you would need to click Open (or double-click the icon) and manually select WinRAR from the list (you can associate WinRAR to .rar files to skip this step). When the WinRAR window appears, all you have to do is click the Extract button and select the destination.

Might be better idea to have Announcement threads show up in the main forum page. As soon as you click Forums above, you will see Announcement threads right under the board title it is in.

There is no screenshots folder as long as you don't take any screenshots. It'll be created automatically.

Same for Custom Textures and maybe Robot Designs.

Robot Designs folder is there because it has the ETRA bots, like XTRA_Atom Smasher

I know this ACAMS, hence why i said "maybe" - but i think if there is no XTRA bots and robots design folder it creates one.

For some reason I've always though you're supposed to overwrite the original RA2 with the DSL, thanks for proving me wrong.

Actually, usually you install packs on top of a clean install of RA2 (as suggested here). This just happens to be a Ready-To-Go version of DSL.

Welcome to the forums. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask (preferably after doing a quick search on GTM). Also, bumping topics that are more than a month old is usually frowned upon but we are much more lenient when it comes to stickied topics (assuming that the post is on topic and useful to the conversation). This is fine but be sure to ask any new questions in a different thread.
