Summary<\/b>: Ed Wilson, Microsoft Scripting Guy, created a video that illustrates expanding compressed archives with Windows PowerShell 5.0.<\/span><\/p>\n

Microsoft Scripting Guy, Ed Wilson, is here. There is a gigantic shaggy dog looking in the window at me. I think it is a North American slobber hound, but then I have never been great at identifying shaggy dogs. One canine pretty much looks like another. I mean, I can tell the difference between Lassie, Snoopy, and Marmaduke, but that is about the extent of my expertise in the doggie ID department.<\/p>\n

Ever since I received a rather painful bite on the back of the leg from a “friend’s” schnauzer, I have been somewhat leery of these furry, tail-wagging, land-sharks. For one thing, they don’t seem to respect ones sense of personal space. For another, I can never tell if they are smiling because they are friendly or because they are anticipating the funny reactions they get when they chomp down on my leg.<\/p>\n

Anyway, my best friend is my Windows 10 laptop—and it doesn’t stand around begging for doggie biscuits.<\/p>\n

I closed the curtains, locked my door, stayed away from the outside windows, and fired up my laptop. I think I will make a video that illustrates how easy it is to use the Archive module to expand zipped archives by using Windows PowerShell 5.0 on my Windows 10 laptop.<\/p>\n

Note<\/b>   I talked about expanding zipped files in Working with Compressed Files in PowerShell 5<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here is my video about expanding archives:<\/p>\n
