    My colleacue has left me some files for a project I am working on before he left the company, but some of the files have been merges into a .gfs file. Does anybody know of an application either for Windows XP or Linux (Debian/Ubuntu) that would allow me to retrieve the files?

    The .GFS files might have been produced by Microsoft Office Groove, a predecessor of Microsoft SharePoint.

    Try to use a Trial version do get the contents. The product is no longer marketed by Microsoft.

    Is there a way to automatically unzip/untar everything I download? Preferably without installing anything (I already have enough programs running all the time) and something that works with all browsers.

    I think this is a horrible idea, it screams "security risk" to me.

    Now the disclaimer is out of the way;

    Why not just run a scheduled task over your downloads directory? once every 5 minutes run a shell script that essentially:

    unzips all the archives (unzip *.zip)

    deletes them (rm -f *.zip)

    One way to do it is to select "Open with" instead of Download in the dialog box that is shown when you click on a link to zip file.

    After the download the zip will be opened in the program you use to handle zip files and you can extract into desired folder.

    If you always want to do this and skip the usual Download dialog, you can check the "Do this automatically for files like this from now on" check box.

    The only way I can think of doing this would be to put all of the zip files in a particular location and have a program monitor the location and unzip whatever it finds. However personally I don't find unzipping things manually that stressful :-)

    I don't see a point to automaticly unzip files after downloading.. Windows xp is treating zips almost just as it does with directories. So there is no need to unzip them.

    But if you insist I would try to find an extension for firefox that could do this. I would forget cross-browsing and uninstallable feature.

    jDownloader can unzip, unrar and even HJSplit your files. You can use it.
