"and that to extract the file and shows contents of that file in to the other folder."

Please explain what you mean by "shows the contents of that file in to the other folder:" Do you mean create a shortcut in the other folder to the file you've just unzipped ?

Search here on CodeProject for : "Rar" "7-Zip" "GZip" "Zip" "file compression" : lots of resources here you can use.

Enumerating the files in a folder to find all compressed files, or compressed files that are newer than the last time you checked should be easy. Calculating the size of the decompressed file should be easy since you know its exact file-path.

The part I can't understand is what you mean by "show content in the other folder."
