General Software Discussion / Re: How Can I Globally Rename the File Types in WinXP Pro (SP2)?
« on: September 29, 2007, 12:38 PM »Do you need to see the file types column at all? You could go to Tools > Folder settings > Show, and remove the mark from "Hide known file types", and then remove the types column. I did that.-Curt (September 29, 2007, 12:15 PM)
I already have all files showing -- (hate hidden files!!)
I solved it the hard way; I edited each file type individually. :mad: However for all image file types and HTML file types I had to go into the registry and edit them there - neither changing them in Directory Opus's File Type Editor nor Windows Explorer Folder Tools>File Types would do it for those.
Curt, I like to see that column. Makes it a little easier for me with very similar but different file types, like XLS and XLT, etc., where they use virtually the same icon. I would have thought that with all the various XP tweaking tools around that there would have been a global way to do this. Actually there probably is but I wanted to get it done last night. Someone with programming or scripting knowledge probably could write a batch file or use a series of Command line switches and commands. I'm not quite knowledgeable enough to do that, though.
Thanks!
