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

Find file default extension.
I ran a registry cleaner with PCBooster and I guess this is what has changed a lot of my file extensions to open with Notepad. Now when I try to use some programs such as HP help and Support, to display system information, I get a notebook full of gibberish.
Is it possible, in addition to using the backup of the registry cleaner as it has been uninstalled and these files are not available onger to restore file associations in default programs?
Thanks in advanceI only know how to reset the one at a time. There must be a method better than mine...
Right click on the program you want to open > click on OPEN WITH > choose default program. If the default program is not listed, click on choose a default program > if still not listed, click other programs > OKt-4-2

How to associate a default program for files without extension?
I work with files of Linux a lot on my Windows 7, and it does not give me an option to associate a program with files without extensions. For example, I'm going to open a file called "config" and Windows prompts me to choose a program to open it with, but "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" is greyed out. Since I use a third-party editor (Notepad ++) which analyzes correctly Linux line breaks, I want files with extensions not always open with this program. Is it still possible?

Unmasking the exported files file name extension
Hello
When you export a Pages (PDF, DOCX...) file (.pdf, .docx...) file name extension is hidden automatically, even if it appears in the file save dialog box. As it is for most of the files that will be sent to the employees on a PC, see the file extension name is very important.
Is it possible to force Pages to let these visible extensions?
Thank you!
Paolo
It belongs to your PC users own parameters so they have file extensions or not.
On a Mac, just select the file and Get Info (command I) then check the box show the file extension .
There is also a checkbox in the Save dialog to show or hide the extension.

files without extensions - executable file unix
We have difficulties to view some files on our server with a Macbook Pro, we just bought El Capitan running. Files with missing extensions show as the Unix executables and slashes in the name show as if they have been renamed. This only happens on this particular laptop. We have other MacBook Pro and iMac running El Capitan and previous OS which do not have this problem. Anyone have any idea why this would be be happing in just this one computer and is there a solution?
Not sure if it helps, I have a folder on the server that contained files without extensions with another computer and copied to the Macbook Pro, which is to have these zipped questions and files display properly.
This protocol you are using to connect to the file share on the server?
What did you expect to happen when you work with these files?
What really happened when you work with these files?

Some Excel files download but do not show associated with Excel or seem to have no file name extension. If I download these files using Internet Explorer, they open properly. I can add xls or xlsx file and it will open properly with Excel. If I select the file open the 'Open with' dialog box and I If select Excel, the file does not open at all... nothing happens and Excel does not open. The excel in the picture as an attachment file are those where I added the excel file name extension.
Unfortunately, the way that Firefox gives the name of file is more literal and less improvisational than Internet Explorer, you may need to add this extension .xls or .xlsx yourself from time to time.
If you want to do it in the shortest time, you can change the immediate download to ask you where to save the file, which also foresees the possibility to change the file name. If you want to try it, the setting is described here: start-up, homepage, tabs and download settings.

How to change a Movie Maker file name extension
I am trying to load a video You Tube and Facebook of Movie Maker on Vista, yet both programs say that they do not support the MSWMM file name extension. How can I change the extension wmv or something supported by these programs without destroying the file?
I already changed the position of file name by renaming the file, but it destroyed and I was not even able to see.Hi Linsala,
Try highlighting your video on the collection list and then clicking Save film on top of the toolbar. Go through the steps and it should save it as a wmv.
If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask. We can't wait to hear back from you with your results. Brian
