Help me out, please

deathinitly,

You can use the command prompt to change the file extension. Open the command prompt using run. Open run and type cmd and press enter. This will open the command prompt. go to the path where you have the file, then type this command to rename the file

For WIndows XP
C:\Documents & Settings\Username\Desktop>ren filename.txt filename.bmp

For Windows 7 & Above
C:\Users\Username\Desktop>ren filename.txt filename.bmp

This will change the extension of the file. You can keep the same filename and just change the extension of the file using the ren command.

For Linux
tlotr@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ mv filename.txt filename.bmp

Tlotr,

Thanks for replying to my post! But it doesn’t work :(
Everytime I typ that code, it says: “‘Desktop’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
I just typed ‘Desktop>ren filename.txt filename.bmp’ because it already said ‘C:\Users\Username>’ (I did type the file’s name instead of just ‘filename’)
So I thought maybe that’s why it doesn’t work, but when I typed the full code it still didn’t work. (My computer is a dutch one, so i also tried to use the dutch word for ‘Desktop’ (=bureaublad), but I still got the same message)
I also tried to put the file in another location, but that neither worked…

I hope you, or someone else, knows what i did wrong. (I did use the right code for my system)

deathinitly,

Please let me know where you have kept the file. I would need the complete path where exactly the file is located on your hard drive.

The above mentioned commands are just for example. I presumed that you might have kept the file on the Desktop and provided the path as per the OS folder structuring. If you have downloaded the file from Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox basically the file gets downloaded in the Download folder which is in C:\users\your_username\Downloads.

When you will open the command prompt you might be in C:\users\your_username> use the command dir to check the files and folders in it and then change to the download folder using the cd command (eg: cd Downloads)

Then you might want to check if the file is actually in the Downloads folder. To check the files and folder in the current directory/folder use the command dir /w or just dir that will list all the files and folder in the current directory/folder. If the file is there then just use the command ren bt.txt bt.jpg to rename the file
