Have you ever come across any situation where you wanted to change the file extension types of certain files or folders? I do, and I come across situations like this a lot of times.
For example, my friend once sent me a Word file of Microsoft Office 2007, on which I accessed it on a computer with Office 2003 installed (which could not open Office 2007 files). Since I wanted to do some editing of her work immediately, I was forced to change the file extension of the word file from .docx to .doc just to open the file. There are also other examples in my life, like changing an audio file from .mp4 to .mp3, a video file from .avi to .wmv and many more.
ABK Freewares is as kind as to create a software named File Extension Changer to help our life easier. File Extension Changer .NET makes it very simple to change the extensions of single or multiple files. It integrates into the right-click context menu of files and folders using registry keys thereby providing ease of use without wasting system resources when not in use. It supports Drag-and-Drop feature helping you to change extensions of multiple files simultaneously. It also features a completely portable version of the program supporting context menu integration as well.
Here are the listed features of File Extension Changer .NET:
- Integrates in context menu of files for easy access.
- Can work with read-only, hidden or system files.
- Very simple interface and easy to use.
- Simple to install and remove.
- Completely FREEWARE.
I believe this software is an important tool for advanced users of Windows, especially if they are sharing their computers with other less IT-knowledgeable users. Manually changing the file extension is easy, but then by enabling this function on Windows, the file extensions will continue to show up behind all names of files and folders as long as you did not turn it off. This can be troublesome especially when other users are renaming files and might corrupt a file in the process. Even if you had it turned off, during the next time when you wanted to edit some file extensions again, you will be forced to navigate your way deep into the folder settings of Windows just to turn it on again, which is inconvenient and time-wasting.
ABK File Extension Changer officially works with Windows XP, Vista and 7, and Microsoft .NET Framework version 3.5 in order to run, but older version of Windows should be able to support as well.
