Change An extension file to anything.

My First Guide. Be nice0rz

What this is....
This is a very simple way to change a file extension to anything you want just by using your computer. Wether it be change a video file to something not open able to you parents *cough*Pr0nz*cough* Though YOU can easily change it back. I hope you enjoy it.

Step One: Create A new Folder in "Documents and Settings" Name it Whatever you want. For example i named mine "Sythe Guide"



Step Two: Put the file you want to get its extension changed in there. Mines a text document named "dannis trinh" as you can see its a text document by the end of this its going to be dannis trinh.sythe Note: You can only have one file at a time in the folder.



Step three: Open up Run. Type CMD and press enter, an African American box should come up. Copy or paste

Code:

cd C:\Documents and Settings\(whatever you named the new file)

So mine would be

Code:

cd C:\Documents and Settings\Sythe Guide

After that is done it should now look like this


If not? then redo all the steps and see if its correct then.

Next step is optional
Step (wait what step are we up to?): To find if you have the right folder type

Code:

dir 

in the box to see if you have the right folder. Then we have some mumbo Jumbo but look for the file name. It should look like this



Last Step Yay:

Okay now that we have all of this copy

Code:

rename *.* *.zip

into the Cmd Box. Change the "Zip" into what ever file extension you want. Dont Change the *.* *. leave it as it is. It worked perfectly for me here is my results...



For any questions Post here i hope you enjoyed my Guide.

Useful and well written. You should add maybe a paragraph explaining what the guide teaches you and what it can be used for.

 

*sigh* alright Just because its 11 o' clock in brisbane and 12 in sydney

 

nice nice very nice... it'll be helpful in the future.. good use of pics, and good detail, 9/10.

 

or depending on your version of windows you right click it say rename and chage it there... can't do it on vista, maybe on xp but i dunno, or you could open it with notepad and save as... i think that works too... :O...


your *.* *.sythe will just remane all the files to .sythe.... so if you want just one you should tell them how to do that.... :O

 

Thanks Guys.

SuF. I state in step 2 that you should only have one file in the folder

 

Thank you, I used the visual method, but this is a well written guide.

 

Very nice. Useful, well-written. <3

can't imagine why I would use it. Parents/gf/friends don't know anything about file extensions.

*open this .bat in your computer ^^"*

 

Can I change it to .3gp? If yes, will the video be accesible to my phone,which means that it can be depicted and not corrupted when seeing it in phone? Answer this please, as I will not use my converter. It just takes too long for my porno lol.

 

you can chnage the extention, but you need the converter for it to work on your phone.

 

Great guide!

9/10!
