I use a prog called Downline.  You can configure it to sit around
polling a specific folder (your download folder).  When it finds a
stuffed, binhex'd or packed file, it will expand them (optionally into
individual folders and optionally delete the originals).
I'm not sure where it is just now, but check archie.
P.S., I use it under 6.0.7 - not sure if its ok for 7.

Tony.
