I hope someone can help, as I haven't been able to find the answer yet (I can imagine it may be somewhere here on xda-developers.com, just CAN'T seem to find it ;-)

How do you rename a file AND its extension.

I have quite a bit of software installed, but still nothing seems to solve this little problem. There are some cases where I think it may help (certain word files, media files are not recognized in WM2003?!) and it would be nice if you could manually set a file's extension.

Anyone posting a link or an answer would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe some software that does this?

Thanks.

Regards,

Thanks guys. I'll give them both a try, yet I recall that I found something about resco products (durring install?) that I didn't particularly like. Maybe just my imagination :?

But, I'll try them both out... as I found I really need to rename files 'on-the-fly' from time to time.

Regards :wink:

2 ways to do it single tap a file and it goes into rename mode where the extention is changed by changing the last 3 letters after the .
