Extract multiple archives at once using Winrar with just few clicks

Posted by Saad Ibrahim 5 June, 2008 (5) Comment

If you download applications from torrents you must have seen applications packed in multiple archives with file names like filename01, filename02 and so on ,it is very hard to extract those archives one by one in one folder which I personally used to do, but few days ago I downloaded an application from torrent with a size of 187 Mb and had 38 multiple archives, so I thought that there must be some way to extract all archive at once in one folder and fortunately I found it, I just selected all the archives in explorer and right clicked them and in the right click explorer menu that appeared there were few  Winrar extracting operations that I could do:
1. “extract files (this opens a Winrar windows where you can select the directory for extracting files and few other options)
2. “extract here” (this will immediately start extracting the files contained in those split archives to a sub folder named same as your archive name)
3. “extract each archive to different folder” (this will extract all the split archive to different folders with folder name same as the split archive name, this is not what you want to do )
4. “extract to “archive name” (this will extract all the split archive to one folder with the name same as the archive name)

You can use any of the above four feature to your liking, I personally used the first feature to extract the files to the folder I wanted
