Is there a program that lets you decide where the unpacked files in an EXE file go?

I have downloaded a program, I suspect it may be a virus. My avast virus scanner says it cannot scan the file because it is a password protected archive. The problem is the file is ".exe" which is not exactly an archive. I tried using Power Archiver on the file but all it gives me is options to compress the file; not extract it in any manner.

I am scared to just click the exe file because if this is a virus than I will have just infected my computer. Even if my resident virus shield catches something, who knows what else might come out undetected. So I want to be able to extract everything to a specific folder so that I may then scan that folder to see if there are any nasty's in there.

So is there any program that allows you to choose a folder where all contents of a EXE file go?
