Extracting multiple passworded winrar files
February 5th, 2020
I noticed a lot of releaser’s password their stuff and I end up wasting hours per week sitting there entering passwords.
At the moment I use “Extract Now” to extract multiple rar files, but whenever it gets to a new file it asks for the password even if the password is the same for every file it’s trying to extract.
Hmm with WinRAR I just extract one and it extracts them all if they have the same pass
I ment for example, if I download a season of a tv series for each episode it ends up asking you a password, which is annoying if you download a lot, and the password for the whole series is the same.
You can do it in command line mode. First copy RAR.EXE from the Winrar folder to your Windows folder (so you can access it anywhere)
Then go to the directory with the RAR files and type
rar x *.rar -p
and it will ask for the password, after that it will extract all the files without asking again
hey,
thanks a lot that worked great
now i don’t have to keep entering passwords
