Extraction path and options dialog: options

Extract archives to

These options are available only if several archives are selected. "Destination path" places extracted files to specified destination folder. "Subfolders in destination path" creates a separate subfolder in destination folder for each archive. "Subfolders in archive folders" creates a separate subfolder for each archive in archive's own folder. "Archive folders" places extracted files directly to archive's own folders without creating separate subfolders.

When done

This option allows to turn PC off, hibernate, sleep, restart or close WinRAR when extraction is done. Appropriate power features must be supported by operating system. Option to close WinRAR is ignored if errors are displayed in diagnostic messages window.

Additional switches

Here you can provide one or more command line switches. It might be useful if there is no option in WinRAR graphical interface matching a switch. For example, to ignore stored file attributes and exclude .txt files, set this string to:

-ai -x*.txt

Switches entered here override similar graphical interface options. Use this feature only if you are familiar with WinRAR command line syntax and clearly understand what specified switches are intended for. Not every switch is applicable here. Improper use of this option can interfere with WinRAR functionality and even lead to data loss.
