i found information on how to bulk rename file extensions using ms dos here.

but i have a question for programmers.

RENAME [drive:][path][directoryname1 | filename1] [directoryname2 | filename2]

EXAMPLES

Rename all text files to files with .bak extension.

rename *.txt *.bak


does that mean you include the path to the directory you want in the command like

c:\documents\pictures\*.jpg *.bmp

?

oh well. i found another program that would do it eventually, and i never found an easily understandable guide to ms dos commands.
