That seems to be the thing I was missing. I was running out of hair over here. LOL Once I installed that, the option appeared. I didn't even have to restart Dolphin. I did notice there is no option to extract to a sub-directory tho. May have to look into that some more. May be a option or something. Thanks much. Dale :-) :-)
