unzip multiple rar files???

Hi all, is there any way to unzip multiple rar files atone time. I have a lot of files to open and it will take for ever if I have to do them individually. If someone can even tell me NO they have to be done singly then I'll get to but I'd like to know one way or another.

Yes it's possible.

I just tested it with 7zip: http://www.7-zip.org/

Just highlight the files, right click, and choose extract, or extract here.

Thanks Shadow, I actually asked the wrong question. I have over 100 folders and in each are about 10 or 12 rar files. What I have to do is open each folder and then unzip the rar files. What I was looking for was a way of doing it without having to open each folder first.

That I don't think is possible.

You could probably do it with a batch file and winrar command line

Something like this (although this isn't the correct command)

unzip "C:\themainfolder\*\*.rar"
