I am working on streamlining a lot of the processes that I have to do associated with my work (web developer). I am downloading a lot of .zip and .rar files at the moment, and I'd like to create a shortcut with AutoHotKey that replaces the need for me to right-click on the archive in Windows Explorer (Windows 7), and select Extract to [name]/ (where it extracts to the folder with the same name as the archive).
At the moment, my context menu is taking a while to open due to the number of other menu items from other programs (Dropbox, Sugarsync, AVG etc), and I'd like to speed things up a bit. Ideally, I'd like to associate frequent actions with Shift + [Numpad Number], as the Numpad is close to my mouse, and I use the Numpad so much for calculations at the moment, it would be pretty easy to adapt to.
Any thoughts on how I could go about this? WinRAR's command line, from what I've seen, relies on specifying a new folder name when extracting....

I'd follow the link in techie007's comment. There's a good answer there. – DanteTheEgregore – 2013-11-08T18:38:24.237
Didn't see that! (bit of a stackoverflow newbie, been ages since I was active on here!) So would that .bat be executable in AutoHotKey? – tristanojbacon – 2013-11-08T18:58:12.377
