change the file extension on multiple files at once?

The spectacular XP autochk "feature" has again renamed 600 files with
the chk extension. Any idea how to change them all back to wav files
in one swift, elegant motion without doing it 600 times? tia.

The DOS "rename" ("REN") command can do that.

From a DOS prompt:

C:\DOS>REN *.CHK *.MP3

[this does assume that they are all in one folder]

If not use the For command.

If chkdsk has renamed the file it may be just a fragment and
not a usable file.

Select multiple files, right click the first file, rename

For /r %A in (*.chk) ren %A *.doc
