    Is there a possibility to open "the extract to" dialog instead of 7-ZIP-FileManager (which I like very much but for some people its just too difficult to use) when double-clicking a file. Someone has a registry hint what to do for that?

      I plan to add toolbar with buttons.

        That's fine too. But for people who will just use it for extracting the "Extract to" dialog would be easier to handle when receiving an e-mail for example... Is there a command line switch to call the extract dialog, i.e. 7zG -extractdialog %1 to accomplish this?

        You could also implement the possibility to call the 7z File Manager from the extract dialog for advanced users. That would be best it could be I think :-)

            Thank you, I just tested
            7zgn.exe x c:\a.zip -ad

            The Extract dialog started up well, only matter now is in the "Extract to"-field it says "C:\Program Files\7-ZIP\". Is it possible to make the dialog automatically offer "C:\a\" instead?
