The RAR is safe.
However I have to agree with TheUnbeliever, it's a very very basic encryption method. But as long as someone finds it useful it's not wasted time! And you also get to get feedback on other aspects of your project (such as the code, not just the underlying algorithm), which is probably more constructive.
And, as long as you warned your friend this isn't to be used for sensitive information, there's no shame in using XOR encryption to hide stuff away from nosy people on the computer. In fact I do it sometimes to play pranks on people (or deter them from looking into my filesystem).
