It is amazing how many compressed files I end up working with, and while I know it is not a long process, I want to see if its possible to save some steps

Right now, its

right click
"Extract All..."
then click "Extract" button (wherever windows decides to put the dialog box today)
file extracts where I tell it to (always same location .zip is located)

I am looking to change it (edit the right click menu?)

right click
"Extract All..." (or change text to (make new option?) "Extract All Here")
file extracts in same folder as .zip was located

While I am only saving 1/3 the clicks, with the amount of times I extract from .zip it would save me a lot of clicks over time

I am not against downloading something third party that makes life easier, but I am not afraid to get into the registry to do it myself if I knew where/what to change

I should mention it is a Windows 10 Pro machine

  • 7-zip offers far more powerful features and you can right click and extract in one click. – Appleoddity Mar 07 '18 at 19:40
  • Associated .zip with 7-zip, and now the process is open (double click), click extract, then confirm location (adding a click).. that's not better.. there is no context menu to "extract here" and the process isn't any faster/better... so unless you know a setting that will do what I want, i am going back to using windows for .zip – Kender Mar 09 '18 at 14:34
  • Don’t know what to say. 7-zip installs a context menu and it is quite robust. Maybe you skipped the option during installation somehow. See if this helps: https://superuser.com/questions/644372/missing-explorer-menu-options-for-7-zip. I haven’t had this issue. – Appleoddity Mar 09 '18 at 17:31
  • it was my mistake, apparently when I first installed 7zip I had installed the x86 version instead of the x64.. the context menu items weren't there. I uninstalled and installed the x64 version and they are. If you re-post your suggestion as an answer I will mark it accepted – Kender Mar 12 '18 at 16:36
