>>This simply happens because when user tries to rename the file when the extensions of file are shown, he/she forgets to give the extension and gives only new filename.

It’s rather narrow minded reason.

I need tho change extensions somteimes, not just to rename a file forgetting an extension. For example, to change *.ra to *.rar

So your solution is just for several users who didn’t get lucky to get a system with DEFAULT setting of not showing extensions for known formats.

GEEZ that was getting so annoying. Thank you for solving my problem.

…I’m pretty sure I was living without renaming anything for at least 7 months.

stretch says, January 2nd, 2009   

that’s no solution for me.
1. i always want to see which extensions my files have
2. as a coder i often create simple .txt files by a right click and rename it after my work to e.g. php, bat, cs, …

so i think there has to be a better way to disable the warning

I have this problem also.

Whenever I rename my files I get these annoying error messages telling me I’m changing the extension.

I KNOW I’m changing the extension, it’s on purpose.

How do I get rid of these annoying error messages from appearing every time I try and change the extension?

simple solution…..nonetheless effective.
this kind of small solution can be clarified by these kind of forums is very good.

The workaround I use is a 3rd party tool which can automatically click a button on specified dialog – in this case the ‘Yes’ buttom for this silly warning window.
