Thanks for the reply, but this method you are referring to seems to only
allow one folder to be unzipped at a time. I am using Winzip 12 pro and not
seeing how you would work this no matter what method I try. Got any other
suggestions? Would a screenshot help of what I have going on? Any other
suggestions from anyone else? Thanks much.
