I see. It's only needed if the normal version doesn't work. Thank you.

What are they and should I pick them? I can't seem to find any explanation arround.

I don't see what's the problem. I didn't even remember WinRAR had that. I normally scour the config settings of the programs I use very early on to see how I can customize things. I guess I saw that and automatically ignored it, not seeing much use for it myself. I deal with lots of archives for different things daily. Why would I want any sort of "default extraction" directory. Seems like something that would cause more chaos than anything else. WinRAR has some nice features, indeed, but that one......

I'm going to venture saying that the reason your so-called "default extraction directory" is that "Downloads" folder is because the archives you are trying to extract are located there because that's where your web browser puts them when you download them. I'd suggest you go into your browser configuration menus and change that to something else. 7-Zip doesn't have a "default extraction folder", it just "defaults" to extracting to the same directory the archive you are attempting to extract is located...

In case anyone finds it interesting, I did a small modification to Shell's script to make it not only skip my .CHECK files, but also skip .7z archives. This way I can interrupt the script and resume it later and it won't re-archive the archives that have already been made. @echo off cd /d .\files for /r %%a in (*) do ( cd "%%~pa" if /i %%~xa neq .7z if /i %%~xa neq .CHECK 7z a -mx9 -mmt4 -m0=lzma2:d128m -sdel "%%~nxa.7z" "%%~nxa" ) pause I also added a "PAUSE" command at the end so that the console...

Well, I didn't check more than opening it with a hexadecimal editor and saw typical HTML tags and just left it at that. Later I noticed the size of the file and checked a second time, noticing the 7z header after the html part. I didn't care to see if the HTML part was of any use.

Well, I'm not doing anything to the files themselves to change their content, but more like revising them and I want a visual cue that I can easily notice when browsing through them (in details view). I also can't change the filenames. There's no readily available method to manually change that file attribute, nor does it stand out visually when you browse, so .CHECK files it is for me. I could even do something ridiculous like .check------------------------- which really stands out visually. Anyway,...
