Windows RAR question/problem

    Ive been using RAR for years but I often come across one problem.

    Lets say I need to extract a 10gb file from 100 rar files. I select the 100files and select "extract here" and its done in a reasonable amount of time, no problems.

    But heres where I hit a problem... Lets say the 100 rar files have a password which I also have. I select the 100 files, select "extract here", enter the password and away she goes, but after 15mins it asks me to enter the password again. I now realise that its extracing each file individually so to speak. So, in order to extract this 10gb file, i need to enter in the password a total of 100 times and wait 15mins x 100. **** that!

    Is there some option/setting to get around this?

    are the rar files all numbered sequentially? if so you can just select one to extract and it will extract the rest, and possibly not ask for the password every time, but i'm only guessing.
