lets us say you have just download a new album or gamebut all the files are .xxx and you need them to bezip's, rar's, mp3's etc.....then do the following
-create a new folder-put all the files needing editing in the new folder-then goto "run" in the start menu-type in CMD and click ok
-the next thing needsa few bits of old dos commands-you need to navagate CMD to the folder whree the files are-you can do this by 1st getting the total adress of the folder-and then typing it in cmd with a "cd" in frount
cd c:\xxx\yyy\ccc\
once you in the folder where the files are you can move on
note: u can check in the right folder by typing dir to get a list of files
