bro u are a saviour, I had uploaded some photos in the cloud and that company got closed, so all my photos were downloaded without any file extension and I had to change the name of each file one by one manually, that is why those files were the same from 2021. Today I was finally able to see all those photos which were lying in the folder from past 3 years, thanks brother.
Bro! This worked when I backed up thousands of photos and videos from an old phone, but all extensions had .jpg_ at the end. That underscore was on every file extension. You saved Christmas.
Awesome, I was looking for the way to change extensions of multiple files all at once, a bit crazy that there is still no way to do it from inside the windows explorer in win10 but thanks either way.
This is insanely helpful for me! Thanks, broooo ur tutorial saved my time almost 24 hours when I needed to change one by one but with this tutorial in only several minutes. I Wish your life full of blessings from God. Thank you so much!!!
This seems to have stopped working. I am trying to change all my image files from .bmp to .png. I used to be able to do this with command prompt but for some reason, it tells me it can't find the file specified and won't do it. An odd message since I am trying to change multiple file extensions.
So im getting "Cannot process argument because the value of argument "path" is not valid. Change the value of the "path" argument and run the operation again." despite copying the path, and even opening the file directly with "Open PowerShell window here" does not work. Perhaps this video is outdated?
you can simply change the drive first on cmd tool by typing this command. cd d: It will take you to D drive and then you can execute commands shown in the video. If you still have questions, let me know.
Only works with local files? I was trying to batch rename in my external harddisk and files on the NAS cloud. Both didn't work. Copied some files into my local harddisk and performed the rename and that worked. Nothing I can do for the externals? I'm really trying to avoid moving a terabyte of files to and fro just to rename :(
Try this: First create a shared folder on the NAS. Then you map it to a drive letter on your Windows PC. Then you use that drive letter like any other drive on your PC.
Can you give me instructions or make a video on making an executable cmd or bat file, with the code in it that someone can simple run occasionally to rename files in a specific directory on any drive letter. i am trying to turn this code into an executable, but i am not that smart 😅😅
chekcout this video where I explained how to do auto-number files using the method you are looking for. ua-cam.com/video/4XmsGxVyHGo/v-deo.html I can give an executable but file names would be different in everyone's case, if you need something with generic name, let me know, I can create one for you.

The ren*.* command is typically used to rename files not folders. For folders, you need to use loop, change directory on cmd to location which contains all the folders you need to rename, then run this command----> for /d %D in (*) do ren "%D" "%~nD.exe"
I need to rename multiple files in multiple folders using rename and a .bat file. How do I construct the command? This does not work: "C:\Users\andri\Desktop" rename "129150651-Contract 11-4-201920211228040401.pdf" "129-150651 Credito Contract NV.PDF" HELP??!!

Did you try using ren *.* to *.png? Remember to first navigate to the directory containing files.
Are you on the correct drive?
You have saved my day, thanks
YOU ARE THE BEST!!! THANK YOU!
Thanks for it bro! I wonder if there are some kind of apps that does similar things like this?
There must be some apps, also a batch script can be created to do all this.
bro you're the goat!
Thanks bro, its works for me.
thank you!!! 🙏

Perhaps this video is outdated?
i know this comment is 5 months old but if you still need help, i was having the exact same problem until i changed from powershell to command prompt
guys, are you trying this in powershell ? The tutorial is for windows command prompt, try that in it and it shall work. Let me know if you need help.
If you have files on a different drive do the same as video but type example d: to change to d drive first
you can simply change the drive first on cmd tool by typing this command.
cd d:
It will take you to D drive and then you can execute commands shown in the video. If you still have questions, let me know.
If your folder is on a different drive do this to change directory in CMD just type the letter of the drive the folder is on with an : after it
a real tutorial
thank you!
YESS!!! THANK YOU!! YOU SAVED HOURS OF MY LIFE!!!

you are awesome bro... thank you so much
Does it only work when the files are in C:\ drive? That is what I have been experiencing.
You can perform this action in any drive.
what if the files that im trying to rename the extension of have no previous extension?
Asterisk * matches any extension. You want to match no extension, so don't supply one. Both of the below variants will do in your case:
ren * *.jpeg
ren *. *.jpeg

hey bro...Its not working on mine
when i put "cd (dir)" in cmd administration, it doesn't entering into the dir and keep on displaying "c:\windows\system32>" what should I do?????? plz help😭😭😭
It works if the folder is on your desktop
@@kenlee3441 😑❗
that means your command to navigate to the folder is not correct.
copy the whole path of the target directory and then use cd on cmd
If the folder is stored in a different drive than the directory is not being traced by the computer
Navigate on the command prompt first to that drive. Or Copy the files to some other folder and navigate to that folder in cmd.
Thank you soo much!!
thanks great job
i fucking love indian people you are the best how 2 tutorial masters
thank u bro

how to do this if files to be changes is on a external drive?

ren .*. *.jpeg
doesnt work , says
The syntax of the command is incorrect.
I don't think there should be a period after "ren" and before the first aster ix.
The command is *.* *.jpeg
@@quickfixit9452 omg you're so fast and helpful 🫠
The syntax is ren **.** *.jpeg
