directory shell context menu item to rename file extensions
I have used the following registry mod successfully in win XP to add a right click option on a folder to rename m4a (AAC files) to m4b (bookmarked AAC files).
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\shell\m4b.m4a]
@="Rename m4a to m4b extensions"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\shell\m4b.m4a\command]
@="cmd.exe /c \"rename *.m4a *.m4b\""
Unfortunately, it is not working in Windows 7 32 or 64 bit. If I open a command prompt in the folder, the rename command works as advertised, but for some reason it won't execute properly from the context menu based on the registry key.
