You can not just change the extension, this will make the file unusable. Depending on the type of conversion you want try a Google for convert .ext1 to .ext2, the extensions being the types you want to change from and to. There is plenty of software.

How to change file extension of various files at a time?
If it changed the file formats, you need conversion programs to convert them back. If it changed extensions, you can just rename the files. (In a command prompt, ren *.ocx *.jpg will rename all ocx files in the directory to jpg.) The file extension *indicates* the file format, it's not the same as the format.



Be careful - if there are real ocx files in the directory, their extensions will also be changed - which you DO NOT want.

How to change a file extension for a file aftre it was made?
You have to set Windows to display file extensions for known file types, otherwise it will treat your renaming attempts as trying to change the file name, not the extension.



Open any folder. From the folder toolbar, pull down Tools and select Folder Options. Click on the View tab and uncheck the box marked Hide Extensions for Known File Types. Then click OK. Your renames should then work as you expect.

How to change file extension without having the program itself?

if i have a .docx file (for example), how can I change it to .doc file if I don't have Microsoft Word 2007? So i can open it on microsoft Word 2003?

Thanks for any help!
How to change file extension without having the program itself?
Downloading and installing the free Microsoft Compatibility Pack on the Word 2003 machine will permit Word 2003 to read and write the .docx files. Note, though, that some Word 2007 stuff will be converted to straight text.



Changing a file extension has no effect on the contents.



Hope that helps.
How to change file extension without having the program itself?
You can't rename the file and get it to work on an older version of Word. You could try the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for 2007 Office Word, Excel and PowerPoint File Formats. By using the Compatibility Pack for the 2007 Office system, you can open, edit some items, and save Office Word 2007 documents in previous versions of Word.

What is a file extension and how do you change it?
A file extension is the ending part of a file that tells you what type of file the file is... For eg: you could have yoursong.MP3 now the .MP3 part tells you that the file is a mp3 file... to change that you could do this but it might not work.. Right click on it and go properties, then at the top it will have a bar that tells you the file name just change the .mp3 to .wav or something like that.. To convert files like mp3 to wav you should use a program like switch that will convert it for you.. Other types of files may need other programs to convert.. Hope this helps!!
