How to quickly replace the file extensions of several files
Sometimes it may be necessary to change the extensions of several files to allow compatibility with a particular program. For example you may need to change the extension of all the asp files in a folder to htm. If there are plenty of files in your folder it would be a very tedious work to do. But with a little command magic you can do the job in just a few steps.For this example we will change all the files with an *.asp extension to a *.htm files.
If you want to keep the original files just in case use the below command at the CMD prompt or within a batch file:
xcopy *.asp *.htm
rename *.asp *.htm
What if your files do not have any extension at all (there are programs that come in archives with text files that do not have extensons). For example if you want to add txt extension to all files in a folder open command prompt (win + R / cmd), navigate to your folder than enter the below command.

How to add custom cursors to your blog
One of the most appealing feature of blogging is that most of the blogging platforms offer easy customization. You don't have to stuck with default themes and other visual elements. You can either design your own custom theme, favicon and even cursor or you can choose and apply from among the thousands of free ones available on the Internet.
In this post I will try to show you how you can change your cursor for your blog.
Here is how to do that:
1. Find a cursor you like on the Internet or design yourself.
- Cursors have their own file formats, which you'll be able to identify by the file extensions .cur and .ani. The .cur extension is for static cursors, whereas the .ani extension is for animated cursors.
- The easiest and best way to design your own cursor is to use a specialized cursor editor,such as IconArt or use Imagine to convert images to ani/cur files. You can also try designing one online within your browser.
- If you find the idea of designing your own cursor too challenging, plenty of cursors are available on the Internet free of charge-just type "free cursor" into Google. Look for cursors with .cur and .ani extensions. You will find tons of them.
2. Upload it to a hosting service (make sure the service supports *.cur or *.ani files).
3. Insert the code to your page. ("about me" page for MySpace profile).
Some websites offer all in one solution; cursor, hosting and code. You just have to choose your cursor and apply its code to your blog. (i.e. TotallyFreeCursors )
Code example for websites/blogs:
Don't forget to replace the URL<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {cursor: url('http://svr1.cursorhost.com/081008/1223460287x4gwg3.cur');} -->
</style>
http://svr1.cursorhost.com/081008/1223460287x4gwg3.cur
with your link of your cursor from the hosting site.
