By the way, the code works under MacOS with:
library(foreach)
library(doMC)
registerDoMC()
foreach(i=tar.files.vector) %dopar% untar(i)
So it has to do with how I write the foreach command on windows... I tried
reading the vignettes and they didn't help much on this.
So why are you asking us how to use third-party software whose
documentation is not comprehensible to you?
This would be very easy to do in R itself (see package 'parallel'). And
BTW the example it that package's vignette of installing R packages in
parallel does do a lot of untarring in parallel
