Cannot open file after renaming If you cannot open a file after you have renamed it then you would have seen a warning informing you that changing the file type may make the file unusable and you have clicked "YES" Windows uses the file type to work out which piece of software/program to use when opening a file, it now doesn't know what software to use as it has lost the file type To prevent this happening again hide filetypes by doing the following:- Open "My Documents", "My Pictures" or "My Computer" (or another folder) Click "Tools" --> "Folder Options" (If you cannot see tools at the top in the Menu Bar then press the ALT key on your keyboard once and it should appear) ![]() This will display ![]() Click the "View" tab at the top ![]() Now scroll down and check the box "Hide extensions for known Filetypes" Click "OK" IP | ||||
