Change file extension

To change File Extension, first you need to set Windows Vista to show file extensions:-

2. Press the Alt key on the right side of your keyboard.
   
3. A hidden menu will appear in the Computer window. Click Tools and then click Folder Options.
   
4. Click the View tab.
   
5. Uncheck Hide extensions for known file types.
   
6. Click OK to save your changes.

Now that we can see a file’s extension we can change it:-

1. Click on the file that you want to change the extension.
   
2. Wait a second or two.
   
3. Click the file again.
   
4. The name of the file will become highlighted. Simply erase the extension and give it a new one.
