| | "~XB1ACD" corrupted files-how to rename/fix RE: below...please advise as to the proper newsgroup to post this to...if this is not the one...thanks I have a mumber of files, all types, .txt, .doc, .jpg They have the correct file name, but have an added "~XB1ACD" (w/o the quotes, various letters after the ~) added at the end of the file that interferes with the correct file association. Note: The files are OK...I can manually rename a file deleting the part including and following the ~ (the tilde)...and the file is conpletely intact. What command and syntax can I use to to find these files and delete the unwanted ~* file extension. I think this is something I think I knew 15 years ago with Dos...but I can't remember. I don't want to have to do each manually - much too time consuming... rh1951 |
