How to extract files using WinRAR shell mode?
In order to extract files using WinRAR shell mode you must first open the required
archive in WinRAR. This may be achieved in one of several
ways:
* double-click or press Enter on the archive name
in Windows shell (Explorer or Desktop). If WinRAR was
associated with archives during installation (the default
installation option), an archive will be opened in WinRAR.
You also may associate WinRAR with archives after installation
using Integration settings dialog;
* double-click or press Enter on the archive name in
WinRAR window;
* drag-and-drop an archive to the WinRAR icon or window.
Before doing this ensure that WinRAR does not already
display another archive, otherwise the dropped archive
will be added to the currently displayed archive;
* run WinRAR from the command line with a single parameter
- the archive name.
When an archive is opened in WinRAR, its contents
are displayed. Select files and folders, which should
be extracted. You may do this using Shift + arrow keys
or Shift + left mouse button as in Windows Explorer
and other Windows programs. Also in WinRAR it is possible
to select files using Space or Ins keys. "Gray
+" and "Gray -" keys on the numeric keypad
allow the selection of groups of files using file masks.
Having selected one or more files, click the Extract
To button at the top of the WinRAR window or press Alt+E
, enter the destination folder in the dialog box and
click on OK. This dialog box also offers a few advanced
options (see Extraction path and options dialog for
more information).
During the extraction process, a window will be displayed
showing operation statistics. If you wish to break the
extraction process, click on the Cancel button in the
command window. You may press the "Background"
button in this window to minimize WinRAR to the tray.
If the extraction is completed without errors, WinRAR
will return to the shell, in case of an error, a Diagnostic
message window will be displayed.
