Need help unzipping 700+ zip files

[schdaddy]

Is there a better way of unzipping 700+ files rather than clicking on each one & going through the process?
Like back in the old days with PKzip I could simply type "PKUNZIP *.zip C:\Destination"


Any compress software that will do batch jobs or something?

I think I remember someone else asking a similar question. Maybe you can try searching for the thread.

winrar.

Select all the files, drag with right click, and extract to directory.

yep. i use winace. if you click on one, then move up a directory, and select all the zips, you can unzip them all at once.

extremely useful for those multi-file *cough*programs.

yeah, download pkunzip command line... I'm sure it's out there, I use the rar one.

What would happen if you hit Ctrl A + Enter?
