Replace "Extract All" with 7-Zip?

Hi! I was just wondering if it is possible to replace this Button with 7-Zip?
Currently it opens the default Windows Extractor, but it would be very nice not to have to go through all the menus to extract one file.

    Reinstall 7-zip with the installer. Set it as the default app for zip/rar.

    During installation, make sure to select the option to add 7-Zip to the Windows context menu, which will replace or supplement the default extraction commands. If you already have 7-Zip installed, you can manually customize the context menu by editing the registry or using third-party context menu editors, but the easiest way is to reinstall 7-Zip and select the context menu integration option during setup.

    When installing 7-Zip right click menu select 7-Zip → Extract to... and it will be done.
