With "X" - It all depends on how the files are arranged INSIDE the rar. It is also possible that when you use "E" you might end up with issues IF files with similar names are located in different sub-folders. BTW, you have a complete guide (with a chapter on command line mode) here: http://acritum.com/software/manuals/winrar/ This command should work for what I'm trying to do: "c:\program files\winrar\winrar.exe" e -ibck -ad "%D\*.r*" "Z:\TV\" E should ignore the paths and just extract the file to Z:\TV but for some reason it creates a folder, for example Z:\TV\rarname\rarname.mkv
