Unzipping a folder of zip files - GoFuckYourself.com

I have around 1500 zip files in a folder. How can I unzip all of them to another folder all at once? Winzip does it one by one which will take me hours..

winrar

type
unzip *.zip
in dos, or if you dont like dos, try using windows commander, it has built in zip handling, and can unzip multiple zips with the click of a button ..

Ok, I'll try winrar. I tried the DOS thing from the command prompt, but it said bad command. Does DOS have unzip or do I have to install it or something?

WinAce... extract with full paths if they're in folders too... but either way, you can select the whole group and pull 'em all at once. WinAce kicks ass.

I tried winrar, but it did not open the zip files. When I selected the files, the extract option got grayed out. Will winace have this problem too?
