Extract.exe needs to be run with the "/E" command to extract all files... "/Y" to ovewrite existing files, "/L (location)" to extract them to different folder than the current. If you have any more questions bout the syntax of any dos command, run it with "/?" to see the help screen. If you have any problem, email me.

Just type "extract /?" to get the correct syntax.
