How can I change the file type extension?

Help please!

I was working in Paint.net and thought that my changes have been saved but I incorrectly saved in Paint.net it as 'nom.1' and making it inaccessible to paint.net or any program being the type of file 'file '.  I then changed the name of "long.bmp", and who seemed like he did to be accessible but Paint.net is still not open it.  On another file that I made the same mistake on, I changed the name to "name2.pdn" that worked and I am able to open it properly.  I tried to change the name on the premiere of "name.pdn" in Windows Explorer, but for this file, it only changes the name "name.pdn" and not the extension.  It's always a ".bmp" file  How can I change to a file real '.pdn '?

Thanks for the help

    Hello

    Libraries should show only the files that are contained in the files that you add to this library.

    Example:

    In Windows Explorer, select the Document library.

    In the window display on the right, click the link x sites in the top/left of the window.

    This will open a dialog box displays all the folders that have been added to this library.

    By default, the Library of Documents should show the folders My Documents and public records .

    If there is other records showing that you don't want in this library, Select the folder and click on the Remove button.

    You can also right click the documentslibrary, in the Part of Navigation and select Properties. At the bottom of the Properties dialog box, click on the button by default is restore to remove all additional files have been added.

    Hi Halasz,

    You can get what you want to use, for example a/l FOR command from the command prompt:

    • [Win] + X
    • Command prompt
    • CD /D drive:------DirectoryWhereYourFilesAreStored
    • Type of / l %G in (1,1,100) @If are TEXT. %G Ren TEXT in the file. File G % File%G.txt, and then press [Enter]

    Notes

    1. Respect the %G everywhere capital elsewhere, the command will fail. If your decide to use "%g" instead of "%G" and then use "%g" everywhere for the same reason. You can also decide to use another letter...
    2. If you have more than 100 files replace the parameter appears in bold with the appropriate value.

    There is necessarily a way to do something smarter, but it would take a little thought and a batch development. Not sure whether what you need at the moment.

  • How can I change the file association in Windows XP

    All my WORD documents and such are automatically saved in a WORDPAD document, how can I stop that?

    While the file associations in windows do not address how a file should be opened,

    It does not address how a file should be saved.

    the method of saving in a program is controlled by this program.

    Therefore, if you use word 2003, then you must change to save documents rtf to word documents.

    try clicking on Word Tools Menu then Options file.

    then under the tab backup, do not forget to select the right format for saving your documents, IE Word documents (* .docs).

  • How can I change the file permissions that are made in the other operating system on the same machine?

    Hi all

    I installed 2 operating in two different drives (drive C & D) systems in the same laptop.
    Recently I have re-installed the Windows7 operating system on drive C. And formatted the D drive. Now, I have a BONE in my system.
    Now the problem is, I can't open some video files (the names are colored in green) who says that you have no permissions.
    I found that "Encrypt contents to secure data" is enabled in advanced of this specific file properties.
    When I go to turn off this option, it says that you have no permissions. It shows the name of the owner as a previous user of the operating system
    in the other disk drive D (that I already formatted)
    How can I get out of this problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    If encryption is not involved (if you do not encrypt the files originally) and is just a file permissions problem - simply take possession of the files first and then change the permissions when your account has full permissions on the files/folders that you need.

    If you do not backup your encryption certificate and key encryption is involved, then the data are almost lost to you.

  • How can I get the file type?

    Hello

    I try to get the type of a specified file. But I don't want to get the file extension.


    Instead I used the UNIX file command:

    file - mime-type myfile.myExtension

    Then I execute this command in my java class using the exec() method. Everything works fine. The main problem is that I need the file command in my BONES. If I run my java code on a Windows machine, it does not work. So, I'm just wondering if anyone knows how to get the type of file in a different way?.

    Kind regards
    Hopcroft

    A quick search on google (java file mime type) faces up to this:

    There is certainly no reliable way, but perhaps one that is listed on this page is "good enough."

  • Windows Movie Maker-how can I change the file format?

    It's my first time using Movie Maker, and I edited a song from my iTunes library. I want to save it in mp3 format, but when I saved it, it wouldn't let me choose the file format. I went to the post, and he published automatically as a video. I just want the audio.

    How can I save it in mp3 format?

    Also, how can I open with iTunes? I managed to do save as just audio and click Open with > iTunes. But he comes to open iTunes. The song won't play.

    http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/vistamedia/threads

    PS Movie Maker is not for the recording of the songs, conversion of songs, etc. It is open with application.

    For files of music itumes, here are the choices...
    1. you need Quicktime or Real player to open and play.
    2. you can google for a free audio converter and convert your itumes songs in wma, mp3 or wav formats. Then, you can use Windows Media Player (NOT movie Maker) to play the songs.
    3. install a free media player called VLC. He plays almost all formats.

  • How can I change the file version for PDF files scanned 1.4 when you use the Acrobat XI "PDF from Scanner' feature? By default, it is always saved as 1.5.

    Because our COMPUTER system can only handle PDFs with versions up to 1.4, we function 'PDF from scanner' to store the PDF files scanned in version 1.4.

    Acrobat 9 always recorded in 1.4, but from Acrobat X, PDF files are saved in 1.5.

    Must be a configuration or a setting somewhere where I can change this.

    I already tried to change the standard the Distiller joboptions, but it does not work.

    Thanks for any help

    There are ways to automate optimization PDF using Actions.

    Without doubt, the problem of trying to mix new software (well, not old, not sure why you migrate to Acrobat X when it's already obsolete), with very old software indeed. PDF 1.6 was published 11 years ago. I realize, this may not help, but it may explain why there isn't an option for you.

  • How can I change the files stored in date order

    In Eudora, there was an option to sort the emails by date. This option is available in Thunderbird?

    To sort the messages by Date, click on the column heading "Date."
    If it is sorted in the order ZYX and want to order ABC, then click again on the reverse Date column header. I always found it much easier to have newest on top, so I can lift the message pane to provide more space to read the emails.

    You can also set it up here:
    In the Menu bar.
    View > sort by > for example: Date, descending, unthreaded

    Icon menu:
