Why do you want to explode your .pak files anyway? If you are talking about stock valve .pak files, there isn't worthwhile reason to do it and I would recommend that you don't. If you're making a mod and you are converting from using .pak files to not using them, the best way to correct it is to fix the bsp's and game code to reference files with the correct casing.
