renaming .ZIP-files into .WSZ-files

rat · 9th April 2001, 10:02

So I finally made my own skin, packed it into a nice .ZIP and tried to rename it....AHA, how do I do this you ask? Well, I ask you the same question, I don't have a clue.
I tried just renaming, but that would not help me, I have to find out how to rename a file-extension.

Aiight - go to the Start Menu, and go to Settings. Choose Folder Options and click on the View tab. In the Files and Folders Folder, about 4 or so down is a box that (is checked for you, I assume) says "Hide file extensions for known file types" Uncheck it. So then ya go to your .zip file, and highlight the "zip" part and replace it with "wsz". It'll ask you if you're sure you want to do that or something, and you tell it that yes, in fact you do. Then the icon will morph into a WinAmp icon and voila.

Man, I feel so smart when I know the answers... It's not often.
