I just wanted to mention this free piece of software called Par-N-Rar for Windows XP that I tried out today. I was looking to uncompress a large number of RAR archives, located in different folders and to extract the files into their original folder, and finally delete the RAR files. This is what this application does, among other things.

You can also have it idling in the background and uncompress any archives you might add to the location you are monitoring, including all its subfolders, and set an update interval for how often you want it to search for updates in the folder structure. Nifty say I.
