applications

from a command prompt:

ren *.txt *.

jorgen,

Ok, this is very good. One more thing would really help. As I will show
I simplified the problem somewhat.

movie1.php.07.txt change to movie1.php
firstprog.php.02.txt change to firstprog.php
etc

Got something for this?

try

ren *.* *.
ren *.* *.

this will remove whatever extension the file has. run it twice...

First, note that this isn't really a "site," but is a newsgroup. You
are accessing the newsgroup via the awful web-based interface to it,
which is among the worst possible ways to do it, and the reason you
are having such problems.

Do yourself a favor and switch to a newsreader, such as Outlook
Express, which comes with Windows. See

I would imagine you don't have java script enabled, or possibly the latest
version of Java, not really certain.
