Hi Desiree, What I do is select all the .zip or .RAR files with the keystroke Control + A, press the applications / context menu key, press the number 7 on the number row above the main keyboard for 7Zip, arrow to extract here, & press enter. I have unzipped as many as 70 .zip / .RAR files at once. 7Zip will unzip / extract both .zip & .RAR files at the same time. It extracts the files to folders with the same name as the zipped files but, without the .Zip or .RAR file extension at the end. Take care. Mike

How does one go about doing that? I knew it could handle multi-part archives by simply selecting each part and then clicking extract, but I would assume that if you did the same thing with different archives it would put all the files into the same folder after it was done extracting. In some situations this might not be a good thing.
