txt permission. What should I do if I need a file in a different format? Types of file formats

Instructions

To create a simple txt file, you will need to launch Notepad. To do this, click the “Start” menu, select the “All Programs” section from the list, then go to the “Accessories” section and click on “Notepad”. Now make changes to the blank document and save it by clicking the top File menu and selecting Save As.

With the creation of the usual text document We figured it out, but we need a registry file (reg). Call the file saving window as described earlier, enter the file name. The file name is required along with extension m, then the file will be determined by the registry editor without problems. You can write File.reg - this will be correct, but on some systems this file can be saved as File.reg.txt.

There is a little secret in the program itself - this utility can save any file format. To avoid confusion with the symbols in the document, enter the following value in the “File name” field: “File.reg”. Quotes at the beginning and end of the file name provide isolation and force the program to save in exactly the format specified. Because the Notepad program, as well as the Registry Editor, are default programs; the encoding of the saved file will fully correspond to files with extension m reg.

If your system does not have problems with extension m files when saving them, you can get by with more in a simple way: enable display of file extensions and change the extension using the “Rename” command.

Open any folder, click the top menu “Tools”, select “Folder Options” from the list. In the window that opens, go to the “View” tab, uncheck the box next to “Hide extensions for known file types” and click “OK”.

Saved file in txt format you need to highlight and press the F2 button on the keyboard (you can also press right click mouse and select “Rename”), instead txt extensions enter reg. Press the Enter key and the OK button.

Today we will analyze such a moment. Each element of the operating system has its own name and extension, which is separated from the name by a dot and consists of three characters. Each set of characters identifies a file type. Exists great amount various types of files, executable (exe), text (txt, doc), music (mp3) and many others.

In Windows 7, users are faced with such a problem that they do not know how to change the file type. By default, this option is disabled and you can only set a new name. Don't be upset, there are several simple and straightforward ways.

Note: change the extension of those files that you can work with after renaming. There is no point in assigning an executable type (exe) in place of a music type (mp3).

Standard Windows 7 tools

First, you need to find the window that is responsible for the properties, settings of folders and files. This action You can do it in the following ways:

  1. In Explorer (my computer), click "arrange" and select "".
  2. In the “Start” menu, in the search form, type the request “folder options”.
  3. In the “start” menu, select “control panel”, look for the desired tab.

Go to the "View" tab. Find and uncheck the "Hide extension for known file types" option. Then apply the changes and click “ok”.

After this, the extensions will be visible in Explorer. Now we can change file type in windows 7 using several recommendations. Select the file and do one of the following:

  1. Click on the right mouse button. From the drop-down menu, select the “rename” command.
  2. Press F2.
  3. From the "organize" menu at the top of File Explorer, select "rename."
  4. Click on the object to be changed with the left mouse button, then after a couple of seconds click again. If you press too quickly, the file or folder will open.

Specify your extension and click enter.

Total commander program

The most powerful tool for working with files. Many functions, and most importantly ease of use. After installing the program, you will be able to . Use the recommendations above (points 1, 4).

Another important difference from the conductor, group file type change. To do this, select several elements (hold CTRL and left-click). Right-click and select “rename”.

In the window that opens, you will see the standard renaming template *.*, where an asterisk denotes any sequence of characters. We change the template, for example, *.php, so all selected files will have the php extension. You can configure this filter as you like, even by partial occurrence.

Command line (CMD)

We will change it using the rename command. Below we will look at ways to use it.

From the beginning. To do this, press the key combination windows icon+ R and enter CMD in the line.

Below is an example of changing one file. Enter the rename command, followed by the path and change options.

Rename c:\computer\document.txt *.php

IN in this example the type will be renamed from txt to php, but the name will remain the same. Instead of *, enter any sequence of characters to change the name.

If a file name or path contains two or more words separated by a space, you need to enclose them in quotes.

It is possible to change several files at once. Type the following command:

Rename c:\computer\*.zip *.rar

In the current directory, all elements with a zip extension will be renamed to rar, but the names will remain the same. If the input structure is incorrect, you will see a warning “error in command syntax”.

So you know how to change file type in windows 7, this also applies to 8, XP. Do not forget that changing the extension helps open the file with another program, but does not change its structure. Of the methods considered, the most practical is the use of total commander.

Everyone uses Explorer, but due to the limitation of working with a group of files, it is not very practical. But not everyone wants to deal with the command line.

The need to change the file extension occurs if initially or when saving it was mistakenly assigned the wrong format name. In addition, there are cases when elements with different extension, essentially have the same format type (for example, RAR and CBR). And in order to open them in specific program, you can simply change it. Let's look at how to perform this task in Windows 7.

It is important to understand that simply changing the extension does not change the file type or structure. For example, if you change the filename extension in a document from doc to xls, it will not automatically become an Excel table. To do this, you need to carry out a conversion procedure. In this article we will look at various ways changing the format name. This can be done using the built-in Windows tools, and using third-party software.

Method 1: Total Commander

First of all, let's look at an example of changing the name of an object format using third party applications. Almost anyone can handle this task file manager. The most popular of them is definitely Total Commander.


By using Total Commander you can perform bulk renaming.

  1. First of all, you should select the elements that need to be renamed. If you need to rename all files in a given directory, then stand on any of them and use the combination Ctrl+A or Ctrl+Num+. Also, you can go to the menu by item "Selection" and select from the list "Select all".

    If you need to change the name of the file type for all objects with a certain extension in a given folder, then in this case, after selecting the element, sequentially go through the menu items "Selection" And “Select files/folders by extension” or apply Alt+Num+.

    If you need to rename only part of the files with a certain extension, then first sort the contents of the directory by type. This will make it more convenient to search for the necessary objects. To do this, click the field name "Type". Then, holding down the key Ctrl, left-click ( LMB) by those names of elements whose extension needs to be changed.

    If the objects are arranged in order, then click LMB on the first of them, and then, holding Shift, according to the last one. This will select the entire group of elements between these two objects.

    Whichever selection option you choose, the selected objects will be marked in red.

  2. After this, you need to call the bulk renaming tool. This can also be done in several ways. You can click on the icon "Group renaming" on the toolbar or apply Ctrl+M(for English versions Ctrl+T).

    The user can also click "File", and then select from the list "Group renaming".

  3. The tool window opens "Group renaming".

  4. In field "Extension" just enter the name that you want to see for the selected objects. In field "New name" at the bottom of the window, options for the names of the elements in a renamed form will immediately be displayed. To apply the change to specified files, click "Run".

  5. After this, you can close the group name change window. Through the Total Commander interface in the field "Type" you can see that those elements that were previously selected have changed to the user-specified extension.

  6. If you find out that you made a mistake when renaming or for some other reason you wanted to cancel it, then this is also quite easy to do. First of all, select files with a changed name using any of the methods discussed above. After that, move to the window "Group renaming". In it, click "Rollback".

  7. A window will open asking if the user really wants to cancel. Click "Yes".

  8. As you can see, the rollback was completed successfully.

Method 2: Bulk Rename Utility

In addition, there are special programs, designed for mass renaming of objects, operating, among other things, in Windows 7. One of the most famous of these software products is Bulk Rename Utility.


Main disadvantage this method The problem is that the Bulk Rename Utility application is not Russified, which creates certain inconvenience for the Russian-speaking user.

Method 3: Using Explorer

The most popular way to change the filename extension is to use Windows Explorer. But the difficulty is that in Windows 7, by default, extensions in Explorer are hidden. Therefore, first of all, you need to activate their display by going to “Folder Options”.

  1. Go to any folder in Explorer. Click "Arrange". Next in the list, select "Folder and Search Options".

  2. The “Folder Options” window opens. Move to section "View". Uncheck the box "Hide extensions". Click "Apply" And "OK".

  3. Now the format names will be displayed in Explorer.

  4. Then go in Explorer to the object whose format name you want to change. Click on it RMB. Select from the menu "Rename".

  5. If you do not want to call up the menu, then after highlighting an element, you can simply press the key F2.

  6. The file name becomes active and available for change. We change the last three or four letters after the period in the name of the object with the name of the format that needs to be applied. The rest of his name does not need to be changed unless absolutely necessary. After performing this manipulation, press Enter.

  7. A miniature window opens, informing you that after changing the extension, the object may become inaccessible. If the user consciously performs actions, then he must confirm them by pressing "Yes" after the question “Perform the change?”.

  8. Thus, the name of the format was changed.

  9. Now, if there is such a need, the user can again go to “Folder Options” and remove the display of extensions in “Explorer” in the section "View" by checking the box next to the item "Hide extensions". Now you should click "Apply" And "OK".

Method 4: "Command Line"

You can also change the filename extension using the interface " Command line».


But, of course, using the Command Line to change the filename extension of only one file is not rational. Much easier to produce this procedure via Explorer. It’s another matter if you need to change the format name of an entire group of elements. In this case, renaming through “Explorer” will take a lot of time, since this tool does not provide for performing the operation simultaneously with the whole group, but “Command Line” is suitable for solving this task.


Using the Command Line, you can solve more complex problems when changing the extension of elements located in the same folder. For example, if you need to rename not all files with a certain extension, but only those that have a certain number of characters in their names, you can use the “?” sign instead of each character. That is, if the “*” sign denotes any number of characters, then the “?” implies only one of them.


As you can see, there are several options for changing extensions in Windows 7. Of course, if you need to rename one or two objects, the easiest way to do this is through the Explorer interface. But, if you need to change the format names of many files at once, then in this case, in order to save effort and time in performing this procedure, you will have to either install third-party software or use the capabilities provided by the Windows Command Line interface.

In this article, I will tell you how to change the file extension in the Windows operating system to correctly match the file type or format. Instructions for changing file name extensions are suitable for operating systems Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7.

A file extension is a set of characters (2 to 4) that define the file format or type, appended after a period to the file name. For example, in the file “Document.txt” the file name “Document” comes first, followed by a dot, and after the dot, the file extension “txt”.

What are file extensions for? File extensions help the Windows operating system determine the type or format of a file to match the application to open of this type file. If the match is correct, the programs immediately open the corresponding file type.

Why is it necessary to change the file extension in Windows? Some files initially have incorrect extensions. This often happens when downloading files from the Internet. The downloaded file has an unknown extension, but in fact it could be an audio file in MP3 format, or a video file in MP4 format. After changing the extension to the correct one, the file will be opened using a program designed to open this type of file (in our case, using a multimedia player).

Attention! Changing the file name extension in Windows should only be done if you are sure that it is really necessary. Please note that this is a reversible operation. If renaming is unsuccessful, you can return the file to its previous extension.

By default, in Windows extensions files are hidden. Therefore, it is necessary to make the operating system display the file extension.

How to change file extension in Windows 10

In the Windows 10 operating system, you can enable the display of hidden file extensions in two ways.

The first method to enable the display of file name extensions:
