win rar help needed

[johnboy1974]

hi all i have just downloaded a file from the internet with 2500 kindle books on it and i had to use winrar to extract it. Now there is a folder which says library and when you click on it there are thousands of files inside it that all have that wee pile of books symbol on them that means they need extracted with winrar too. How do i get them all to extract without having to do them all manually.

Select all, and drop them on the winrar icon?

Thanks for reply mate mate what winrar icon- i have one on my desktop its a shortcut. When i select all and drag them on to ther icon it says open with winrar archiver but nothing happens.

Update- i googled the problem and downloaded a free program called 7zip. Now when i select all i get the option to extract here with 7zip and its worked just fine thanks.

With winrar you usually extract the very first pile of books and that extracts the whole file.

Mate thats what it normally done up until tonight but now its only extracting them individually- never mind its working ok now.

1. extract the big folder
2. select all the rar files (ctrl + a)
3. right click and choose extract all or extract each to a seperate folder depending on your preference.
