For you first question u must either know the extension of the file u want to rename or not.
Now Case 1, u know the extension (say txt to be changed to htm)

ren 1.txt 1.htm

Case 2 U dont know the extension but only the file name say 1 then

ren 1.* 1.htm

Thats why I asked about it. :D
That hack always causes this problem, I also mentioned it in that thread. ;)
Whenever we apply that hack, the "View" buton in toolbar stops working!

dl_ is compressed dll file(supposing it be from i386 folder)..Use the expand command to extract it...

expand abc.dl_ abc.dll {expand [source] [destination]}

BTW dl_ files can be opened with winrar...:smile:

With ren command u can change the extension for a file...but can't change its type.(obviously..)....The dl_ files which are in i386 folder of winXP setup are basically zip files containing the dll....eg..hal.dl_ is actually a zipped file containing hal.dll...

So Obviously u cannot expect a zip file to get converted to a dll just by renaming it...U have to extract it using expand command..

to change the dll files to dl_ u have to compress the file and then rename the file to .dl_..:)

That means I can change a .zip file to .dl_ file
Also plz tell me the dos command to change the extension of multiple files at a time
I have nearly 1000icons in a folder i want to change them in .bmp plz tell me the command

^^Buddy! U can't change a filetype using DOS commands. ;)
When U'll rename the file "a.ico" to "a.bmp", it'll not convert the ico file into BMP file. It'll only rename the file but it'll remain an ico file.
U can use various softwares to change filetypes.

And regarding to dl_ files, these are compressed dll files, to create these compressed files u can use following command:

makecab file_name

for example:

makecab shell32.dll

and to extract actual file from these compressed file use following command:

expand old_file_name new_file_name

example:

expand shell32.dl_ shell32.dll

[{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}]
iconarea_image=C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpaper\VistaBliss .jpg
iconarea_text=0x00FFFFFF

1.) Open the ico file in mspaint and then Save as the file to BMP file.
2.) Knowledge comes with experience. ;)
3.) Coz this string is hardcoded into windows shell and used for "Folder Settings". Many such strings are used for other tasks, like:

{8BEBB290-52D0-11d0-B7F4-00C04FD706EC} for Thumbnails View. ;)

Beware of the innocent
if you have a lot of ico files, irfanview's batch convert would be a better bet, wouldn't it be, vishal?
