Is there a simple method, and tool to use, that will allow me to extract
fully ALL files within a hierarchy of folders with zip files in them?
eg.. the Parent Directory has twenty subfolders, each of which have ten
sub-folders with several .zip files in each. Ideally I want to unzip all
the files within the lowest level folders, keeping the unzipped output at
that lowest level.
Any help appreciated.

easy
a comand line unzip program
pkzip came with pkunzip i'm sure there's a more up to date version
that does long filenames.
or winzip has a command line version.
Find a command to run in each directory.
like pkunzip -d *.* (I think it's -d you want, if the zip contains
directories and you want them created)
you could do
C:\>sweep pkunzip -d *.*
that will run that command in every single directory.
it will unzip all zip files in all directories.
you'd have to download sweep.com (I think it was made by pcmag)
dunno how it runs in win xp.
The more efficient way - not so simple - is to be able to run that
command in/on a list of directories. But that's tricky. It'd take a
long time to manually compose a batch file that says
pkunzip -d c:\a\b\*.zip
pkunzip -d c:\a\c\*.zip
e.t.c.
I've never produced a file like that automatically, but a prog like
MiniTrue might create that file.
I think sweep is a good bet and v. easy to do/try. you wanted simple
and that's simple. Much easier than the 'more efficient way'.
