This can be configured in WinRAR with the Display files in Explorer option on the extract dialog, as shown in the screenshot below:
Enabling it will work for the current archive but any further archives extracted will have this option disabled. To ensure it sticks for all archives just click the Save settings button underneath, then it will apply to all archives being extracted in the GUI.
- Try the latest version of Winrar or
- Use an alternative free extraction utility, such as 7-zip
- If none of above works for you, then just disable UAC (although that's not recommended, it's the first thing I do when I install Windows 7. Mainly because the number of problems it causes are much more than the benefit it provides.)

[Create default…]Background archivingbox[OK]twiceNow WinRAR should always default to background mode and minimized to the notification area.
You can also create a separate profile specifically for running the background and add that to the context menu.
