Good day Dear readers Today I want to tell you how to change the type of file in Windows per minute, this topic can be considered a continuation of the previous post about the association of files in Windows 10, as it complements it. In my example, we will look at the operating systems such as Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and of course the top ten, where now without it. I sure that this information It will be very useful for novice computer users, especially if your computer has been attacked by a virus, which has changed all file associations.

Types of file formats

Let's understand to start, what are the types of file formats. It is logical that each program installed on your computer is not important in what operating system opens your file, and it is logical that other files from third-party programs She is not needed, since they have their own openers. From this it follows that the files somehow should differ from each other, and identify themselves for a specific application. I did not think for a long time and invented that each file has a certain program, there will be your format or expansion. Extension is that in the name of the file goes after the sign point at the end.

Examples of file formats types

I will give the most common file formats:

• Sound\u003e Have an extension MP3, WAV, FLAC
• Video\u003e Have AVI, MKV, MPEG format, and so on
• Executable\u003e have exe, msi format
• Archive\u003e RAR format, Zip
• Text\u003e Doc, DocX, TXT, PDF, etc.

There are a lot of such categories, each of them contains its types of file extensions, you can see all of them as a note above the association, I advise you to read. There are cases that you need to quickly change the file format, for various reasons, a simple example you have a picture with the PNG extension, and on the avatar site to download to the profile for example can only be jPEG formatWhat to do, you can certainly convert it online, but not always there is an Internet, here we come to what we must understand and disassemble how to change the type of file in Windows.

I want to note that to convert formats, you need to use either online services or specialized software, below examples

Let's go to practice and wonder how to change the file type in Windows 10. Suppose I need to change the TXT extension, in any Microsoft family operating system, extensions are hidden and logical that if necessary, something to change staffing, then you need to turn on the functionality.

All we need to open a conductor, make it possible on the folder icon to the right of the Start button.

change the format to us will help click on the menu View and install the File Name Expansion Tank.

Please note that you can enable hidden Windows 10 files. All check, our TXT file. All now by choosing it and pressing the F2 key, you can change the format to the desired, erased TXT and replace it. A real case when it can come in handy, you in TXT write some kind of script, and then change the format on BAT or CMD and it becomes a script.

As you can see a change in the format of the file in Windows, it is not more difficult than saying time, two and three, but do not think that it always acts, you can't take mp3 and make an AVI, miracles do not happen. This method, useful for example when editing hosts file In the system, as it does not have extension by default, and there are cases that when editing it, the user is proposed to save it already in the TXT format, which is not always visible, if the display is not enabled.

Let's disassemble how to change the file type in Windows 8, this version A little on older and not so common in the world, in my opinion it was at my time in vain, it would not be tens, but we are not talking about it. By the default of Windows 8.1 does not display extensions in the system, for example, I have a picture and I need to change its expansion, but it is not visible in the title.

To fix it, do the following, open windows Explorer (any local disk in my computer). You will have a convenient menu from above, you need to go to the View tab, and put this daw, file extensions. This action will allow the operating system, turn on the display of formats or as you like file extensions.

Again a look at our file and his miracle appeared in the title. JPG is its format.

Now, what you need to do, there are two options, the first is the right click and choosing from the context menu item to rename, but you are already an advanced user, so you know that everything is done, if you press the F2 key on the selected file. Next, you will have the opportunity to edit it, we ereze the old format and write a new, for example PNG, in the window where you ask confirmation to change the formatting of the pitch yes.

As a result, you got the desired expansion. As you can see, a couple of mouse click. Now you know how to change the file format in Windows 8.

I very often people say that the article is misleading that such a thing does not work. Here I want to note that people have not read everything to the end, and apparently did not pay attention to what I wrote that it works not always and not with all the formats, but in other cases you need to use special services and converters to change files.

I will give an example from life, in government agencies it is very often worth, until now Word 2003, and it has a format.doc, and most of the office is already worth MS Office 2013, which is the default file type from Word * .docx, which in 2003 It will not work, so the specified method above easily changes formats, and you can easily pass the desired format for the user with the old office.

And so in the eight we figured out, let's see how to change the type of file in Windows 7, here it is in another place.

The described method for the seven through the control panel is suitable for tens and eights.

I have a file archive, it has RAR format, I need to change the file extension in Windows 7 on Zip, this is also such an archiver. By default, the seven, also does not display the formats, so she needs to help in this, so to speak slightly.

We have two ways with you, each of the bottoms should open the folder settings. The first method, it is opening the Start\u003e Control Panel.

In the upper right corner in the view item, select large icons, after which we are looking for the folder parameters icon, it is its capabilities that will allow us change file type in Windows.

You can still get on the menu Parameters of the folders, you can still, open my computer, as you can see there are no additional buttons.

Press the ALT magic key and eventually open the hidden menu. They click on the service button and then folder settings. Choose what method you like more.

Go to the View tab, where you need to remove the checkbox hide extensions for registered file types. After removing it, you will get the ability to change the type of file in Windows.

We all check our archive, choose it with a clamp F2 or rename it right, and put the desired expansion.

(adsbygoogle \u003d window.adsbygoogle ||) .push (()); In OpenCart 2x, Introduced the installation of modules by means of admin.
In Russian assembly, this is called "installation of extensions".

Many have come across the fact that when installing the module, it was issued "Incorrect File Type"

In the theory after downloading the module * .ocmod.zip through the admin, it should be unpacked in the desired directory and record information to the database. At the same time, in the menu item modifiers, we will see the same modifier. And everything would be fine, if not pre-configuring FTP etc..

But it's not a hindrance. Installing in the old manner.

1. We take our archive, which for example is called
OpenCart-2-3-x-feofan.net.ocmod.zip.

2. Unpack it and see the necessary files: File Install.xml and Upload folder
If there are Install.php and install.sql files, you will need to execute the code from the install.php file and it is possible to import the Install.sql file via phpMyAdmin

3. From the UPLOAD folder copy everything to the site root

4. Go to the menu menu - Modules - Installing extensions and load an ocmod.xml file.
The file extension must be .ocmod.xml., eg install.ocmod.xml

5. In the menu - modules - modifiers check appeared or not.
Press the plus game to turn on and then click update. We look at the log at the very end, whether everything is fine.

And in the end we get installed expansion Without configuring FTP admins.
If the desired item or functionality does not appear, check the log on errors.

Alternative modifier installation method

4. Install.xml file rename in for example OpenCart-2-3-x-export-import.ocmod.xml and copy to the Feofan.Net \\ System \\ directory

5. Press update in modifiers. Menu - Modules - Modifiers
(in the list of modifiers with manual installation, we will not see anything except the log !!, but the modifiers themselves are always at hand, not in the database)

The output of such all files must end .ocmod.zip

As a rule, editing the file extension should reflect the change in the format of the information contained in it. And such interference in the file structure is most often carried out using specialized applications that change the expansion. But cases where to correct the extension to the user accounts for independently, still not so rare.

Instruction

The easiest way is to change the file extension using a program specifically designed to work with files. You can open it in Windows in many ways - for example, right-click the "Start" button and in the pop-up list of the commands, select the "Open Explorer" string.

In the left column of the File Manager, the disk is located on which the rename object is placed, and then, sequentially opening the folder in the same left column, go to the directory containing the file.

If the extension of the desired object is not displayed in the file manager, then open the "Sort" drop-down list over the left column of the conductor and select the folder and search parameters string. If there is no in your version of this list, then open the "Service" section in the menu and select "Folder Properties". In both cases, the same window will open in which you need a list of parameters on the View tab - find a line "Hide extensions for registered file types" in it. Remove the checkbox in this string and click OK.

Click the desired file. Right-click, select the Rename command, go to the end of the name (Press the END button) and correct the extension. By pressing the Enter key, you will fix the modified file name.

The same operation can be done on the command line, even if the display of the file extension is disabled windows settings. Calling the simulator window command line It is implemented through the program start dialog - press the Win and R keys simultaneously to open this dialog. Then type CMD, press Enter and the command line terminal will be open.

Use the Rename command to rename or its abbreviated version REN. This command requires the instructions of the full path and the name of the editable object, as well as the file name with a new extension (for the second parameter, specify the full path is not required). For example, if a file called somefile.doc is placed in the Text folder of the root DC directory, then to change its extension with DOC on the TXT, enter such a command: Ren F: ExtSomefile.doc somefile.txt and press the ENTER key.
