Bulk Zip Files?

Question

Hello i have a load of zip files is there away to do unzip them all at once? I am so fed up on opening each one and clicking unzip also if you are going to say winrar how? Tom

Answer 1

If you have XP then you can use windows search to extract the files. Put all of the zip files in one folder then search that folder for *.* when the results are shown select them all and copy them to a new folder where they will be unzipped.

Answer 2

The current version of WinRAR has an option for this. You just select all the ZIP files you want to extract then right-click, one of the options in the context menu that appears will be "Extract each archive to separate folder". Selecting that option will unzip all the files in one go, and place each of their contents into a folder with the same name as the ZIP file it came from.

Answer 3

Try from a command line using:

unzip *.zip

I don't recall if I installed a command line add on to WinZip but you should be able to download that or another compression utility that can handle that.
