when you tried to open that dat file it asked you what program you wanted to assoicate with it and you selected to use winrar. there was also a checkmark on there that stated if you always wanted to use this program for this types of files, you selected yes. To fix it you can delete a key in your registry. First make a backup of the key just in case you delete the wrong one or it does not work. Anyway go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.dat and delete that key. Now *.dat files are not associated with anything. It should work fine. It has worked fine in some of my cases.

go to your shared folder, right click on one of those dat files that show up as .rar file, then in the right clikc menu choose properties, once you open properties right there on the top it give you an options to choose what program to open it with, hit choose locate klite or browse to your "my computer>c: drive:program files>klite k++ folder>here choose kpp.exe to open it, then hit apply, hit ok and that should do the trick
