>>> Change Extensions of 1000 Of Files In One-Click <<<

Most of the time i download Bunch Of the Text files which contains some important Information, But Whenever I open them It Looks Like a Messed-up Text With No Alignments,No Paragraphs & No Spaces.:Thumbs-Down:

So I preferred to read them in Microsoft Word Which Shows the Information in Well formatted Manner with Alignments, & Paragraphs.:Thumbs-Up:

So Its really a Boring work to rename files.
So i Always use One-click Batch Rename All Files In a Second!!

Here we go Its Totally Simple Trick!!:Smile:

Steps:

Create One Batch File In The Directory You have stored your files.
The Code is given below.

Code:
ren *.txt *.doc
Type or Paste above Code in batch file & Double click on file Within 2 Seconds All Files You can see Converted from ".txt" to ".doc" extension.
Who don't Know How To create Batch file Using Text Editor/Notepad those friends please refer my previous Post.

There Are Some More Tricks like, You can Hide your videos Or mp3 songs in a picture & Prevent others from viewing your files.

Since It's One-click Maintenance file You can revert all files back to their original extension Whenever you want to use.

Code:
ren *.mp3 *.jpg

Code:
ren *.mp4 *.jpg

One Drawback For Hiding mp3 /mp4 using this batch file is::Frown:

After Converting mp3/mp4 Files in ".jpg" user can open it using "Right-click" -> "Open-with"->"media player"
But User will do this Only if user Is Smart & really wants to investigate your hidden data.:Sick:

If you have better Suggestions on this, your most welcome!! :Smile:

For your particular problem you could as well change the default application that is linked with the .txt extension.

Changing the extension for hiding purposes is a very weak steganography technique. It might work for grandma, but other than that it will be visible by the icon that the file is no image (as images usually have thumbnails as preview) and if you try to open it, it won't work which is suspicious too.

Appending the file as zip to an image instead would be also weak, but much better. The image will still work properly and if you need access to the hidden file you just open it 7zip instead of an image viewer.
