Awesome Tool I Found to Extract Multiple Archives Recursively
 
I have a bunch of old content CD's I was trying to get on my computer, maybe I'll give porn one more go, maybe not. But that's not the real reason I'm posting.

I often want to unpack multiple archives that are in nested directories, such as /base/one/two/three/four.zip and /base/two/six/nine/google.rar these kinds of structures I've found are common when downloading bulk sponsor content.

While I already have WinRar, 7-Zip and other tools that make extracting archives easy via the right click context menu, when I have a folder with dozens, scores, or even hundreds of subfolders each with archives inside them that need extracting, it gets quite tedious to individually right click on each archive, then move the mouse the the right position to extract the archive individually.

Multi Unpacker solves this problem. It's free, and uses WinRar which is free and awesome, to recursively unpack an unlimited amount of archives, even archives within archives themselves.

Multi Unpacker is the name, and just because it made me clap my hands in happiness when I found just the right tool for the job I'm currently doing, I thought I'd share it with Greenie's masses because this same situation may come up for some of you in the future.
