please help me change format of downloads

Hi, I'm terrible at using PC :( I was downloading cc today and changed some settings by accident and don't know how to change it back .
Whatever I download looks like that now,with little book icons, but they weren't there before, it looked different. All of my older cc files look like that now. How can I switch it back ?

    it looks like you set package files to open with winrar somehow. i'm curious what would happen if you uninstalled and reinstalled winrar, but I don't know for sure if it would work.

    Thank you. Can you please tell me what version of it to choose ? I see most of them are trials, does it mean I'll have to pay for it after free trial ?

    I don’t use winrar but from what I have read posted on other threads, i think that you can continue to use it after the trial has finished,

    Download whichever version corresponds to your operating system. They all say trial, but it doesn't force you to pay after the trial runs out, and it allows you to continue to use it even if you don't pay for it. 7zip and WinZip are also programs that do the same thing, if you'd prefer to use one of those instead. It doesn't really matter.

    I found how to remove association, but the problem is .package is not there, so it's impossible to do that.

    I found it in another place, but it allows me to choose only winrar or next option to go to microsoft app store

    Try removing the association in the way suggested in the link that I posted. Then download another cc package item, and the right icon then may be restored.
