The MS-DOS-based expand utility runs from the command line. Type the expand command with the appropriate options, as shown in the table:

source | Specifies the source file. The "*" and "?" wildcards can be used. |
destination | Specifies the destination file or path. The destination can be a folder. If source specifies multiple files and the -r option is not specified, then destination must be a folder. |
