Have you ever downloaded a file and mistakenly assigned an incorrect extension to it? for example, .png instead of .jpg or .wav instead of mp3..
Or you just might want to rename a simple .txt file as .html so you can conveniently open it in a web browser (if you want to test HTML code you wrote)
In this post I'll tell you how to do just that.
If you found this page via google, you've probably tried renaming the file by right clicking and clicking rename. you'd also know that that doesn't work when it comes to changing the extension.
What you should do is go to windows explorer, click on Tools> Folder options> View tab
and then deselect the option which says "hide extensions for known file types".
Now you should be able to edit the extension by simply right clicking on the file and selecting "rename"
