How to archive multiple separate files without including file extension in name!??

[lettuce]

So i have about 100 or so files in a folder that i want to archive with WinRAR so there all in their own separate zip files, but when i do this each zip file includes the extension file in the name for example......

'example.exe' file becomes 'example.exe.zip'

when archived, how do i put each file in their separate zip files whilst not including the file extension in the zip file name!?

Doesn't really make sense. If you zip(compress) a file it becomes a 'zip' file.

Yes it does im not saying that, im saying it is including the extension of the file im zipping up in the name of the zip file once its been zipped up

As soon as you want to zip multiple files up into their own zip files then each one of these zip files names includes the extension of the file your zipping up, so 'file1.cfg' would become 'file1.cfg.zip' when zipped up i just want it to be named 'file1.zip' without it including the extension in the zip file name.

It wouldnt be so bad if it was like just 5 files i wanted to be put into their own separate zip files as id just edit the extension out myself but i have like 100s of files that need to be place in their own zip files

Bugger thought there might be a way to have it ignore the extension when zipping up

What if i told windows to hide extensions, would that then zip it up without the extension and then once im done i can tell windows to show extensions again?

I think you've got "double extensions for archives" enabled. Disable it and you'll get what you're after.

Thats odd i dont have those options at all on version 5.61....

Upgrade to 5.71 which is the latest non-beta version. This was an option introduced in 5.70.

Excellent, thanks
