The utility "7-Zip" handles TAR files and a LOT more (including a bare-bones-but- useful file manager) -- one of the reasons it's the very first thing I install on EVERY Windows-based PC that I touch.
After installation, go to the Tools-->Options menu, check "Select All" then deselect .ISO -- click "OK" and you are good-to-go (it can look inside .iso files, a useful feature but you don't want it to be the default tool for them).
