I have a collection of files (about 3000) that are zipped into a single 7zip archive. The problem is, getting one file out take forever and a day. Is there any way to expedite this process? (IE include a manifest for the program so it doesn't have to unzip large sections to get one file out)

In short, no. The compression is as such that it splits the files and then compresses them. Therefore, there is no way to get a single file out of an archive because the file will be spread across the archive to acheive a good level of comrpession. You could try WinRAR (http://rarlabs.com) to extract trhe files and see if it's any faster than 7-Zip..
