This is a fully automated extracting tool. This is not a WinRAR or WinZIP replacement but quite a useful util when you want to extract large quantum of archives. The program makes a queue of every rar added to the list and extract them one by one. This way you can peacefully play your games (or sleep) while extracting. It also have optional functions to cleanup (removing archives after extract). You should try it, it is free and you’ll get a notice when a program update is available, that way you’ll always have the latest version. Other functions like minimize to tray, thread priority etc. are also available.
Screenshot:
Current version is: v1.5.0 build: 1909
Latest:
- Fixed support for Windows 2003 server and Windows Home Server (captionbuttons messing up)
- Added support for password protected files! (With a simple timeout)
- Added right-click option for “Extract to destination” on found-archives
- Added right-click option for “Rescan same directory” on scan
- Created a SFV-checked option for Autounpacker so it will not rescan same SFV file again
Features:
- Zip-support added!
- Possible to add archives in archives directly to the queue
- Added option for ignoring the found window and directly extract everything it find
- Made the cleanup functions smarter, and fixed a small bug in the renaming feature
- Now possible to save unfinished extraction queue to file on exit and reload it on startup (or a crash)
- Logfile support added
- Also possible to rename the directory you’ve extracted from
- Possible to pause/resume on Unpacker & Autocopy
- AutoCopy can now operate in quiet mode
- Possible to set thread priority
- Autoscan directories by given interval
- Check autoscanned archives against the SFV file
- Automatic adding to queue when archive is equal to SFV, so you don’t have to 🙂
- Recursive scan of harddrive anywhere in Explorer for archives
- Archives can be queued for process
- Each archive is extracted one by one
- Possible (optional) to clean up the archive files after use

A program that fills a niche requirement very successfully; thank you.
considering that the developer hasn’t updated this program in almost 2/3 years, you wonder why it doesn’t work? ROFL.
1-24-2009 was the last modification date for unpacker.exe, the common files that unpacker runs off of date back to 3-24-2008.
update your shit you lazy mfkkr.
Lol!
Sluper sl00ze you triggered my “discontinue the whole project”-button… If dates matters consider what the util does rather than the last-time-it-was-updated you fake-lazy-bastard!
@Drag0nir:
I’ve been having that same problem, even killing the processs, restarting, reinstalling etc. I just found a solution though. Go in to your task manager > Applications tab > right-click Unpacker and choose ‘Maximize’
TADA!

Bit-O-Help please …. I installed v1.5.0 build: 1909 on SBS 2003. I’m using autoUnpacker to scan I:\Shows\ with a destination of same folder I:\Shows\ . I thought this would extract any .rar into the same folder it was in, but it’s not doing anything. I opened Unpacker and scanned I:\Shows\ and it found 6 files and I extracted them. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance!!!
thanks Lars , great program
Can you queue up .ISO files through Unpacker in the same way ?
I’ve tried but it can’t find them as archives……
hey! thanks for this! expect a donation soon 🙂 i would also like the context menu’s to be optional. thanks!!
There is a nasty little bug/error on programs crash. the crash start when aunpacker scans folder then i guess the unpack-er has trouble with long name or something cause it tries to create a blank (no name and i dont know how windows allows that) folder that has the file that it extracted in it. but funny part is you cant delete the no name folder normally i had to use unlock-er app to remove the no name folder since windows would let me with normal means. then there is a nasty memory leak when it tries to rescan the folder that has that no name folder causing it to dump its core and pop up a error report to send out ( which i allowed it to). once you send the report the auto unpacker app eats up all my memory and i have to kill the process.
Nice program Lars – I wish I’d known about this before – a lot of time would have been saved. I’d like to support the request by those wanting the option to extract to a specified directory – cheerz.
