Re: a problem with hiding file extensions

[Sarah k Alawami]

I use name changer. You can put replacement text and have it go through and do 
it all in 1 go, or do it the slower way. Go through the times and have it 
replaced 5 minutes with let's say nothing and it will do that. There  probably 
is a better way but my brain is not thinking right now. 
Name changer is not on the app store btw and it's quite old so try looking for 
it at download.com

Take care.

Re: a problem with hiding file extensions

[Glenn]

I agree, I don't know why anyone would not want to know of the file 
extensions.
I think it is stupid of MS to have started the hiding of file extensions.
It is quite unsafe to know what the file extension is.
It could be an executable and you might not even know it.

Actually I have all extensions showing . Did you go back out and in to the 
folder and see if that hid the mp3 extensions. You will want to see those as 
you will want to know what opens them, at least that's why I have it, and 
I'm from the doss days where I had to see them lol!
Take care.

Re: a problem with hiding file extensions

[Michael Marshall]

hey,
the reason i want to hide the extensions in this folder is because these files 
are downloaded and the person who made them has put the time in the file name, 
EG 1930 radio report 5min 4S.mp3. i wanted to get rid of all the times in the 
file names without removing the .mp3 stuff with it.
thanks for any help

Michael
