<div class="IPBDescription">How can I change it?</div> Hey,

To keep Harry happy, I have an iso file that has mysteriously managed to get an .exe tagged onto the end of it.

I am desperately trying to kill of that .exe on the end but I cant for the life of me figure out how. I tried right clicking, going to properties and changing it in there, but all that did was create a tiny batch file.

Can anyone tell me how I can edit the file type to I can burn that darn thing. It wont let me unless I knock that exe off.

Thanks in advance

don't post your illegal actions here.

Bleh, people will talk about how they download mp3's off kazaa, yet I am banned from the same? They post about having burnt copies of games, yet they are allowed and I am somehow not?

Dirty_Harry_Potter

well yes people do talk about downloading MP3's, but its not the filetype that is illegal - its the content. And kazaa isn't illegal either, however most of its content is.

here is what you do:
go to DOS, navigate your way to the ISO.exe
use this command to rename it:
ren X Y

note: im not 100% about that command, but its something similar.
X is the old filename, Y is the new.

Let me guess?

Windows XP?

Because in that case unless you know some super-duper way of doing it, your fsuked.

Unless you use Nero for it and just get it to read all files. That might work....

(Please note I am assuming it is legal, but could be wrong, nuke me if you need too.)

Marine0I

Yeah its xp.

Thanks for the help Potter, I'll give that a go. Might I also note that ISO's are in no way any more illegal then MP3's.

I tried using nero read all - it wouldnt accept it with the .exe on the end

Back to basics, back to dos.

EDIT

Okay I did that and it works perfectly.

i was talking about filetypes in general. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Winrar can view the full filename of any file

Even if it is something like:

blahblahblah.mp3.mpg.exe.iso.rar.zip

So you can rename it quite easily -_-

But yeah, warez bad.

/me shakes head

you do know that you can simply tell winXP to SHOW thew file extensions, yes?

(note I am trying to remember how I do it with out being infront of XP so hang on ;P)
start --> Settings(might not exist if so skip) --> controll panel(if this don't exist hit you computer with a sledghammer, repetidly ;P) --> Folderoptions --> View Tab --> unclick hide fileextensions for known files

would yah look at that win2K has it also, huh

This appears to have served its purpose. Warez are bad. Don't discuss them here.
