I have a lot of rar files, and i would like to know if there's a way to queue them up to uncompress one after the other automatically instead of individually uncompressing, waiting for it to finish then starting the next file.

I currently use winrar.
 
If you want to do them in an order theres an option somewhere to tell winrar to pause if others are in operation then as one finishes the next to be requested started unraring. Thats handy sometimes when you want lots of files unraring in order for some reason rather than all of them taking forever to finish :)
 
When you open an achive and click the extract button, look at the Advanced tab.
Set the 'Wait if other WinRAR copies are active'.

Wait if other WinRAR copies are active
Wait if other WinRAR copies are creating, modifying or unpacking an archive and start the operation only when other WinRAR tasks are complete. If you are going to perform several archiving or decompressing tasks, such queued execution can help to reduce amount of disk seeks and improve overall performance.
 
Yeah they're in different folders which is why i couldn't use the seperate folders function.

Regarding the 'Wait if other WinRAR copies are active', that works perfectly.
Thanks!
