ForEach Loop processes each ZIP file located within the $filepath variable

    foreach($file in $filepath)
    {
        $zip = $shell.NameSpace($file.FullName)
        foreach($item in $zip.items())
        {
            $shell.Namespace($file.DirectoryName).copyhere($item)
        }
        Remove-Item $file.FullName
    }
