Somewhere, sometime ago, I d'loaded and installed a program which enabled the option "Change Type" to appear when any file was "right ckicked" on.
Thereby changing a ,mid to a .sty or whatever.
It did not just rename it but actually changed the type.
That was on my old pc.
Now I want it for my laptop and do not know where I got it.
Can anyone help?
Thank you

Jim,

On the older computers you would have used the DOS Window, while allowed you to merely open the folder and type: ren *.mid *.sty and press enter. This essentially told the computer to change every midi file in the folder to a style file.

The same holds true if you were to type: ren *.sty *.mid and press enter. It would change every style file in the folder to a midi file.

In Windows XP this is called the Command Prompt, which can be accessed via: Start/All Programs/Accessories/Command Prompt.

Cheers,

Gary

Thank you Gary,
After reading your post I went and looked in my old pc again and this time discovered where it was installed...here is a link to the software.
This little program works really slick. Check it out.
Jim

woops I can't give you a link due to not knowing where I got it. It is a zip file called
chgtype

I know it was found on someones psr/style/midi utilities site but where? Oh well
If anyone wants to check it out let me know and I will gladly e-mail it to you.
