A util to unzip multiple zip files, each into its own folder.

I read an old post that WinRar (timeout shareware) will do this. Looking for
freeware, of course.

I already have IZArc, Power Archiver, WinImp and Ultimate Zip. Don't believe any
of them do this.

7-zip (at least of 4.14 beta) will do that select all the zips
the select "extract to *\" from the context menu.

(requires installing)

Incidently I notice 7-zip 4.15 beta is out.

Try Unziplify at http://www.silverbandsoftware.com/tabdown/index.html

From their webpage;
Unziplify provides an easy one-click method of extracting an entire
folder full of ZIP, RAR, and ACE files. Simply right-click on a folder
or drive in Windows Explorer, and select "Unziplify". Every archive
found in that folder will be extracted at once. Its the most painless
way to extract archives yet!

Its not even "as easy as 1-2-3"; its as easy as 1! Once you select
"Unziplify" from the right-click menu in Windows Explorer, the
program launches, creates any necessary sub-folders, extracts all
archives, then automatically closes. All you have to do is sit back
and watch the progress bar speed by!

Unziplify is Freeware. Feel free to distribute it to anyone you like.

Does it unzip all the archives into one mass grave or does it create a separate
folder (and the necessary subfolders) for each archive unzipped?

IZArc can do this. Select all the zip files, right - click and click on
'Extract every archive in separate folder'.

Thanks to all. Comments below-
IzArc needs to be installed to have that context option, mine is converted to
executable. Maybe later.
TuzZip is too large for my hard drive situation.
7Zip, I need to work with, but not needed for this as below.
Rip Zip, not needed as below.

Unziplify is a one function program and works fine, does exactly what I needed.
It is a program that needs to stay installed, it does not work properly as an
executable with the Send To menu. It really needs shell integration after install.
There's quite a few install programs I've converted to executables, but not Unziplify.

It depends on the option that you choose. You can unzip all zip files into
one folder or create a separate folder for each zip file. If you have a zip
file with another zip file inside of it, you can have it create a subfolder
for
the other zip file. For example if you have a zip file called 1234.zip with
a 5678.zip folder inside of it, you will get a folder named 1234 with a
5678 folder inside of it.
