A fun trick I learned recently is Scooter Software's Beyond Compare can be used to extract many archive files such as RAR and 7z without requiring additional software to be installed.

Beyond Compare can treat an archive file as a directory, and it allows copying files from one directory to another. Voila.

Beyond Compare is a great tool for comparing files and directories, and is invaluable for cleaning up. V5 can even show the differences between every tab in spreadsheet files 👀! There's also a bunch of other types of compare tools. Standard edition is $35, Pro $70 (which I haven't needed)

I just learned that you can ignore file structure and then you can see that the only differences between folders is dot files.

I'm a happy customer👍
