download the self extracting executable of 7zip, either the 3.13 or the 4.13 beta:

then right-click on either file…PA’s menu won’t have any “extract to” voice, while WinR**'s has.

how can that be? PA obviously can’t recognize the type of file…

have you checked your Shell Extensions Options in PA?

I’m a fool girl! :p

It’s not any of a bug…it’s just that I had uncecked the “Check for self-extracting ZIP, ARJ…” option!!! :p

@mods: you can lock this thread!

by the way…I guess this option should be not modifiable, and set to check…

I’m thinking of a reason why one could want it unchecked, but nothing cames to my mind…what do you think?

Reason it is there is that in some cases, when you have large SFX archives, it will slow down your system when you just click on the file in Windows Explorer. So in certain cases, depending on what you do on your computer, you certainly might want it off.
