1. Please only post once.

2. You are not changing file Extentions, you are enabling known file extensions to be viewed in windows explorer. So no changes to the files are actually being made.

The title is misleading. I thought this tutorial was on how to change your file extension (which is really just renaming anyway…) This tutorial needs pictures and more detail. Even though I know how to unhide the file extensions, your explanation confused me.

This needs some work.

The correct way to do it is to go to Control Panel (on Vista). If it's in the default view (Control Panel Home) Appearance and Personalization. Then you click Folder Options. Under the View tab uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types".

If it's in Classic View (or if you're using XP) then go to Control Panel (in Classic View). Double click on Folder Options and follow the instructions above. (Go to the View tab and uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types".

There is a flaw in your "Mini Tut", you tell the reader to click hide file type extension of known file types, and then you say it will show the extension, when it exactly doesn't.

If you get pissed enough for needing to type *'s and speak that kind of English, go out have some fresh air…

as i said i am going to add screenshot's and also i said uncheck the box labeled hide known file type extention's

This helped me.
It does change the file types.
My zune only reads .wmv so i changed all my vids to .wmv and now they are all on my zune :)

there is something even simppler its called bittorent

yes n
but u have to download bittorent

Some file extensions will not work, because somethimes some things need to be changed in the file. Search google on file extensions changer online, you need nothing to download etc..

haha i feel like such a noob after all the time I took
hhehe i was trying for sooo long to change the extentions in some rar file….i ended getting a file extention changer hahah soooo lame

thanks for this dude :)

kinda complicated… i prefer to use winrar and do it like that
