Can anyone help.
I have loads of JPG files which don't show up in Win 2k Explorer thumbnail view
but if I change the file type to JPEG the thumbnail view works. Is there a
freeware program to automatically change the extension as I really don't want to
have to rename every file on an individual basis.
Thanks
Pepper

If you know a little old DOS, uou won't need any additional program,
it's allrready on your Win 2K.

Start-button, then 'Run...', then type CMD. It gives you a command
prompt, like in DOS.

Then change directory to the directory where the files you want to
rename are in.

Once you're there, type:

ren *.jpg *.jpeg

It says rename all files with extension JPG to extension JPEG

If you don't how to change directory at a command prompt you could run
the attached file:

All what is in it is:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CLASSES\Folder\shell\commandprompthier]
@="Command Prompt Here"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CLASSES\Folder\shell\commandprompthier\command]
@="cmd.exe /k cd \"%1\""

This will add to the context(right-click-menu) of all folders the
option 'Command Prompt Here'.

If you don't trust it: it's a simple textfile which you view by
richtclicing, then choose edit.

It will start a command prompt for that specific folder.

Then just type:

ren *.jpg *.jpeg

Thanks Manuel. I must admit that I tend to forget just how useful DOS was.

To Roger, Grex looks a useful prog but from the website I'm not sure it would
fit my requirement but thanks anyway.

=====================
What about using a simple DOS command as:

rename *.jpg *.jpeg

This should be used inside the folder.

=====================
 
P.S. The attached file in message
is only for use with
Win nt, 2000, xp etc., if you want to use with win 95, 98 or me, open
it in notepad or any other plain text editor, and replace cmd.exe with
command.com
