How to: Change the File Type of a File Easily

How to Change the File Type of a File Easily

Step 1: Locate the file you wish to change
Step 2: Go to organize then Folder and Search Options, then click the View tab. Uncheck the box titled "Hide extensions for known file types".
Step 3: Click OK or Apply. Now you should be able to see the file extension. Step 4: Right-click the file name and select Rename (or left click and hold down the button for one second). Enter the new extension e.g. jpeg to png After entering the new extension, hit the Enter (return) key. Windows will give you a warning that the file may not work properly. This is quite safe — if the file does stop working you can always change the extension back (just make sure you remember what it was!).

It's also possible that you might get another message telling you that the file is "read-only". In this case either say yes to turning off read-only, or right-click the file, select Properties and uncheck the Read-only box. If you do not have permission to change the file extension, you may have to login as Administrator. Another option is to make a copy of the file, rename the copy and then delete the original.

Note: Windows treats file extensions as case-insensitive, i.e. .RTF is the same as .rtf. However other operating systems do not, and will treat MyDocument. RTF and MyDocument.rtf as two different files. Therefore it is good practice to always treat your files as case-sensitive for maximum compatibility. This is especially crucial if you are going to use the files on the Internet. We strongly recommend that you get into the habit of using all lower-case letters for all file extensions.

@yawh69 I'm happy to have helped you and thank you for subscribing. So anyway I'm not sure what you mean in your request when you said

" do u have an program . .i want to upgrade my laptop into ultimate. . i have poor laptor . .only windows 7 starter :(((" Are you asking for a way to upgrade your operating system (Windows) to the ultimate version?

[yawh69]

ok sir prox. . . have a nice day to u sir. . . . :) im busy looking for a game that i want to play :))

sir prox hope u can make a new awesome themes :)

[ProxifyStudios]

@yawh69 Do not be sorry. I am always happy to help. Okay firstly you are aware that in order to upgrade to this better version you would need to buy it. To get it otherwise in a different way would be classified as illegal which would come with serious consequences. As i suspect, you probably already know this. In such case i can not help you as i do not condole to such acts but if you really need to upgrade and are aware on the consequences then i suggest finding a product key for it online
