Winrar question plz I am forced to be using my laptop windows 7 pc now and am wondering what needs to be changed differently in my winrar.
on my windows xp I was able to right click on a zip file and have the choice of Extract to... I could also select numerous zips and they would all extract to the folder I chose. now on my laptop with windows 7 I do not have these choices. when I right click I have to open and when I choose mulitiple zips they all come up seperately.
is there anyway to set up my windows 7 to do as the xp did?
thank you | My System Specs | | |

Have you done a fresh install of Winrar?
I have not used it in maybe 4 years. 7-Zip is an excellent alternative that works fine on Windows 7 for me. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Ignatz Special; 4 speed manual gearbox; factory air conditioning; one of one OS Windows 7 SP1, Home Premium, 64-bit CPU Intel Sandy Bridge i5-2500, not overclocked Motherboard Gigabyte H67A-UD3H-B3, full ATX Memory 4 GB Crucial DDR3-1333 Graphics Card none; graphics are integrated on CPU Sound Card onboard: Realtek ALC892; external: USB Behringer UF0-202 Monitor(s) Displays NEC 90GX2-BK 19" LCD Screen Resolution 800 x 640 Keyboard Leopold Tenkeyless with Cherry Blue switches, USB Mouse Logitech or Microsoft optical wired; either USB or PS 2 PSU Seasonic SS-560KM, modular Case Antec Solo II Cooling CPU: Scythe Big Shuriken; Case: Scythe Slipstream 800 & 500 Hard Drives System: Intel 320 Series SSD, 80 GB;

when you install winrar there is an option to have extract to etc in the context menu, im not sure of the exact wording but i know the option is definitely there when you install, try reinstalling it and look for the option. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Hewlett packard/p6512uk OS Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit 7600 CPU IIx4 amd athelon 635 processor Motherboard FOXCONN 2AA9 Memory 2x2gb Graphics Card ati radeon HD 5450 Sound Card (1) Realtek High Definition Audio (2) AMD High Definition Monitor(s) Displays samsung lcd tv 32" Screen Resolution 1360x 768 Keyboard wireless hp Mouse wireless Hp,optical PSU ?
