Is there an application for Windows or technique to watch a given folder so when a compressed file (.zip/.rar) in written in this folder it gets automatically decompressed in a subfolder (like WinRAR extract to folder feature)?

It would save me a lot of time, because every time I download a file I have to open it, extract it contents, delete the compressed file and finally use its data.

Write something with the FileSystemWatcher in .NET? PowerShell script based on a schedule? There's lots you can try. – Randolph West Oct 30 '12 at 16:05
