In other archiver tools, such as WinRAR, extracting files from .tgz or .tar.gz files is done easily in one step. With 7-Zip, I have to first extract the tar file, and then perform a second extraction of the extracted .tar file.

My suggestion is that for .tgz and .tar.gz extensions, and 7-Zip provide a second option in the Windows context-menu to automatically extract the .tar contained within the archive. This would save a lot of hassle, and also make it easier to convince users to adopt 7-Zip.
