Changing the extension of a group of files in Explorer...
2004-06-11, 5:58 AM #1
I know you can highlight the files and then rename one and it renames them all... e.g. you take a group of photos and rename one to holiday.jpg and they come out holiday1, holiday2 etc, but I'm trying to get a set of file extensions, not names, to change in the same manner.

Basically I've got converted SNES music, but it's in an SPC format, so instead of defaulting to WinAmp it does the Crypto Shell Extensions because it's a PKCS #7 certicate file... I could change it to default to WinAmp for those files since I've never had PKCS #7 certificates, but is that wise?

Either that or I've got my own .snes file, but the trouble is going through all those .spc's and renaming them... is there a quick way to do it?

put this in batch file in the same folder as the .spc files.

ren *.spc *.[whatever]


(note [whatever] is whatever you're chaning them to so for example ren *.spc *.mid) I don't know what the extension you're chaning them to is but this will work.

Making a batch file is a waste of a step and a file-allocation slot [http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif]
