Changing extensions of "multiple" files...?

[mikehende]

Using XP Home edition, I have 150 files in a folder and wish to change the file type or extensions of all of these files from "file" to "flv", do I have to rename each file one at a time or is there a way that I can change all 150 files in one shot?

You can use Batch Rename from ShellToys XP. It's shareware but with a 45 day fully functional trail. Get'em done while it's free.

Cool, thanks! I am trying to do this in DOS though [for the knowledge] as I type this but this utility you linked me to will come in handy.

In DOS (or Command Prompt)

CD \target
RENAME *.file *.flv

where target is the directory (folder) where your files reside
