FREEware - Unzip many files at one time!!

[ScrapGrl]

Anyone know of a free program that will unzip .rar only? My computer automatically unzips zip files just not rar files. Thanks all!

If anyone has WinRAR already, it has a feature to do the same thing. When installing be sure to tell it to integrate into Explorer (if using a Windows computer) and then whenever you rightclick a zip or rar (or whatever) file, you get a bunch of unzipping options, including to unzip to individual folders. Fabulous feature!

okay, I love this new software, but I'm stumped on how to get it to accept passwords. any ideas?

Helen!!!!! ((((((hugs)))))) This is amazing! My evening was going to be spent sitting here unzipping stuff. You just made my life so much easier!

Thanks - I thought it was fantastic too - it has saved me so much time!

And Julie, sorry, no I don't know how it handles passwords, other than if one is needed, it might stop at that file and give a code. I always double check my files after the job is done - to make sure everything unzipped ok.

If I find any 'empty' folders - I try to unzip that file again - sometimes it didn't unzip right because it was corrupt or a password was needed - which I then enter. If a file is password protected - you have to have the password - there isn't any program that will allow you to unzip a file that is password protected - without the password. That is done to ensure against piracy.

So - if the program doesn't prompt you for a password during the unzipping, then check the folders afterwwards to find the ones that are empty - then re-check their zipped version. Maybe the web site where we downloaded it from would have information on it. That's all I know for now.
