i accidently saved a 400mb video with a firefox document extension, now i cant play the file because windows gets confused. is there any programs i can use to re-save it with a wmv extension?
thanks

thanks The_Hunter, it worked :)
i only had to change the folder options then re-name it!
good tip, thanks
My Firefox does that sometimes, all you have to do is change the file extension to whatever it should be by un-checking "Hide extensions for known file types" in windows folder options and then just rename it .wmv or whatever it may be.
Edit: Just saw your last post about renaming it :pinch:

"Hide extensions for known file types"
Nobody has that set, surely :blink:
