Answer : how to batch rename files without extension to .wpd files

even if they do not have extensions still you can use this command. Place all files in a single folder better in the root of a partition better in c: and better to name the folder an easy name like a for example. So for example you placed the folder named a in the c: root and you placed all your files in folder a Open a dos command window and write the following in succession and press enter after every command cd\ cd a ren *.* *.wpd
and you are done Please take care while writing dos commands because the spaces are important so in the second line there is a space between cd and a in the third line there is a space between ren and *.* and another space between *.* and *.wpd If you placed your folder in another partition then replace the first command by the partition letter followed by : so for example if it is d then the commands will be like this d: cd a ren *.* *.wpd
