Changing a File Extension on Windows?
Anyways, here's what to do.

1) Open My Computer
2) Click Tools then click Folder Options
3) Select the View tab.
4) Then Uncheck Hide extensions for known file types


After that, it's time to go to the easy part.

Right click on the file you want to change the file extension with and rename appropriately.

Example:
a) from Skiverzfile.rar to Skiverzfile.zip
b) from Skiverzpic.jpg to Skiverzpic.jpeg

Hope this one helped.
