unzipping folders or files o n Windows 7
|
Joe Giovanelli
Hello,
I run Windows 7. The only program I know to use is Winrar. I can play individual files but cannot move them. I'd like to find a way around this. Thanks. Joe Giovanelli

As far as I know, you have to unzip or unrar an
entire archive when using winrar, then move files. The Windows unzip
utility lets you move individual files without unzipping the entire archive but
I don’t' know if any other programs do. As far as I know, neither winrar
nor 7Zip do. If you are working with zip files, you may want to use the
Windows unzip utility for moving individual files. Let us know if you want
to try using it.

Windows 7 has its own unzip utility right in there. You hit the context menu key, and arrow down to extract all. It won't unzip rar files, though, but it will do regular zip files. 7zip will do rar files. Pam.

It depends on what other unarchive programs are on
your machine and what you have them set to do. You can press enter on a
zip file and see what happens. If another unarchiving program comes up,
then I'm not sure how you would change what occurs. Uninstalling the other
program may reverse the situation but I don't know. Such behavior is
controlled by the registry and more actions may be required. it's probably
easier to use whatever utility you generally use, unzip the entire archive, then
move the unzipped files where you want.

Wasn't the original question how to move files out
of an archive without extracting the archive? Adding the extract all
option if it isn't there won't deal with the question. Associations have
to be changed, if they cause another extraction program to run when you press
enter on the zip archive. If you want to extract individual files from a
zip archive, you can press enter on the zip archive and, if the Windows zip
utility runs, you can move to a file in the list and then copy it to the
clipboard.
Then you have to leave the archive opened, open the
folder where you want to place the file in, and paste.
I am guessing that the instructions in the below
message only add the items in the context menu. I am guessing that they
may well not change file associations that determine which program opens when
you press enter on a zip file. I may be wrong so you can experiment if
you like.
Someone may be able to tell you how to change the
file associations so that the Windows zip utility opens when you press enter on
a zip file if a different program opens now. But I don't see that it makes
that much difference if you use the Wwindows zip utility to unzip one file or
use a different utility to unzip them all, then paste the file you want where
you want it. It may make a time difference that might be enough to matter
if you are extracting really large files. In a lot of cases, I don't think
the time difference matters enough to go through the trouble. You may
spend more time tinkering and trying to solve the problem than you would
unzipping four or five or many more archives using what you use
now.

It's right there. What happens is, you put your cursor on the file, hit the applications key, and arrow down to extract all and hit enter and tab through it. Pam.

to be changed, if they cause another extraction program to run when you press
enter on the zip archive. If you want to extract individual files from a
zip archive, you can press enter on the zip archive and, if the Windows zip
utility runs, you can move to a file in the list and then copy it to the
clipboard.
Then you have to leave the archive opened, open the
folder where you want to place the file in, and paste.
I am guessing that the instructions in the below
message only add the items in the context menu. I am guessing that they
may well not change file associations that determine which program opens when
you press enter on a zip file. I may be wrong so you can experiment if
you like.
Someone may be able to tell you how to change the
file associations so that the Windows zip utility opens when you press enter on
a zip file if a different program opens now. But I don't see that it makes
that much difference if you use the Wwindows zip utility to unzip one file or
use a different utility to unzip them all, then paste the file you want where
you want it. It may make a time difference that might be enough to matter
if you are extracting really large files. In a lot of cases, I don't think
the time difference matters enough to go through the trouble. You may
spend more time tinkering and trying to solve the problem than you would
unzipping four or five or many more archives using what you use
now.

7 It depends on what other unarchive programs are on
your machine and what you have them set to do. You can press enter on a
zip file and see what happens. If another unarchiving program comes up,
then I'm not sure how you would change what occurs. Uninstalling the other
program may reverse the situation but I don't know. Such behavior is
controlled by the registry and more actions may be required. it's probably
easier to use whatever utility you generally use, unzip the entire archive, then
move the unzipped files where you want.

7 Wasn't the original question how to move files out
of an archive without extracting the archive? Adding the extract all
option if it isn't there won't deal with the question. Associations have
to be changed, if they cause another extraction program to run when you press
enter on the zip archive. If you want to extract individual files from a
zip archive, you can press enter on the zip archive and, if the Windows zip
utility runs, you can move to a file in the list and then copy it to the

Are you saying it just disappeared and you did
nothing such as install another extraction program? A system Restore will
probably solve the problem. Run a restore point before it
disappeared. If you have installed programs since that restore point or
changed enough settings in programs that it would be inconvenient or annoying to
run the restore point, you can install a program like 7zip. While it's
unlikely you will have any problems such as corruption of data by running system
restore, it's possible. So it's a little safer to install another program
such as 7zip. I'm telling you that so you can make an informed decision if
you didn't know that. I've used system restore for years with no
corruption problems and it isn't much risk but it is one.
I don't know if you have your files such as
documents, music, etc. backed up. Microsoft says you should have such
files backed up before running system restore.
Regarding 7zip, if you are running 64 bit windows
you have to install the 64 bit version of the program or you won't have the 7zip
submenu in the context menu.

Hi David,
If you're using a desktop computer
there's an extended context menu that can be accessed with the, Shift + F10,
keystroke. The extended context menu gives more options than the context
menu accessed via the applications / context menu key. See if the extended
menu has the extract all option.
Take care. Mike Sent from my iBarstool. Early to bed, early to rise, keep my iHemorrhoids from being a surprise.

There is choose default program but extract all is not there.I did not install any new programs.
