7zip Auto Extract

A way to automatically extract zipped files by double clicking.

The Process

  1. Obviously you need 7zip installed.
  2. Open RegEdit (Win+R, type regedit and press enter).
  3. Navigate to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications\7zFM.exe\shell\
  4. There should be a folder with the default command (mine is called "Extract" but yours may be different, whatever it is doesn't matter). Inside that folder, click on "command".
  5. On the right pane, double click the "(Default)" key. I would recommend making a backup of the default command just in case you ever want to go back.
  6. Replace the Value Data with this command. "C:\Program Files\7-Zip\Extract_Open.bat" "%1"
  7. You can close RegEdit. Open File Explorer.
  8. Navigate to "C:\Program Files\7-Zip".
  9. Download Extract_Open.bat from this repo and put it in the folder you navigated to in step 8. You are done, enjoy!
