Changing Multiple File Extensions

[MLS]

I have recovered lots of lost files, all of which are
shown as .CHK (recovered fragments). Many of these files
are photos, so I want to convert all of them to .JPG
files. However, I only seem able to do so one at a time.
If I highlight more than one, I can change the filename,
but the extension remains .CHK - can anyone help? Replies
to me by email please. Thanks. MLS

Hi,

Manual:

Open a Command Prompt window (Start/Run/CMD) and navigate to the folder the
CHK files are in.

At the command prompt type: REN *.CHK *.JPG (note the spacing).

Automated:

Rename Files and Folders En Masse (Line 140)
