Extract Multiple RAR & ZIP Files At Once from Different Folders in Windows 7, Vista, XP
You can use Winrar or iZarc to extract multiple rar and zip files, but you can only do this if the archives are in the same folder. What if we want to extract several rar files that are located in different folders? In this case, most extraction tools, even the popular ones, aren’t able to do so. ExtractNow is a long well-known astonishing solution in this matter.
How to extract multiple rar files at once from different folders:
1. Suppose that you have two rar files which are each in different folders. Go to the first folder, right-click the rar file, and select ““Enqueu”. A mini window will appear–ignore it for now but don’t close it.

2. Next, go to the second folder, right-click the rar, and select “Enqueu”. The mini window will appear again.

3. You can add more rar files to the Enqueu list if you want to. When you’re done adding all archives, click the “Extract” button to start extracting.
ExtractNow extract each archive in its own folder by default. If you want to change it, configuring where the archives should be extracted into can be done in the setting menu.
In addition to the context-menu integration, ExtractNow also supports drag and drop operation. However, to make use of the context-menu integration, you must first enable it from the setting menu.

The archive formats ExtractNow supports are as follows:
zip (+jar,xpi), bzip2 (+bz2,tbz2,tbz), rar, arj, z, lzh (+lha), 7z, cab, nsis, lzma, lzma86, xz (+txz), ppmd, udf, xar, mub, hfs, dmg, compound (+msi,doc,xls,ppt), wim (+swm), iso, chm (+chm,chi,chq,chw,hxs,hxi,hxr,hxq,hxw,lit), split (+001), rpm, deb, cpio, tar, gzip (+gz,gzip,tgz,tpz), mslz, flv, swf, ntfs (+ntfs,img), fat (+fat,img), mbr, vhd, pe, elf, apm, macho, ace, sit
ExtractNow is compatible with Windows 7, Vista, XP and WIndows 98. It’s a freeware and you can download the latest version from the developer’s homepage.
