ExtractNow offers intelligent unzipping of files in multiple folders of a folder hierarchy right out of the box: it puts the extracted files into a properly-named subfolder immediately under the folder containing the original archive -- imagine that! The Windows Explorer integration is a really nice touch.

An elegant and uncluttered program that does exactly what it is supposed to, and does it very well.

In fact, some builds are recommended, many of them - not! Many versions of this program have serious bugs (including the most recent version). If you are lucky to find some OK build (seems that 4.30 was fine, although "show default type icons" is broken in this version too, but it isn't important for the main purpose) it is very convenient and useful tool. I can't understand why the autor don't make more serious testing before publishing newer versions. I'll stick to 4.30.

Guess what. Although posted as working with only 2000/XP it works just fine on Win98SE too. It doesn't get any better than that! Just drag and drop a file and extract. Voila. It's done. So embarrassingly simple you may want no one around when using it...
