    Hi,

    I have many folders each with a zip in them, I want to extract all of the zips into their existing locations (I dont want to create any new folders).

    When I search in windows and then highlight more than 1 of the zips at a time and then 'right click/extract here' all of the contents from all of the zips are extracted into one of the folders.

    How do I make them extract into their own existing folders without having to do each 1 by 1?

    Thanks in advance.

    (Windows 11 7zip ver26)

    ok so I did this in powershell

    Get-ChildItem -Path "C:\ParentFolder" -Recurse -Filter *.zip | ForEach-Object {
    Expand-Archive -Path $.FullName -DestinationPath $.DirectoryName -Force
    }

    You can delete this topic or leave it, thanks
