I recently installed Vista in my 512 MB machine with NVIDIA FX 5200 Graphics Card. I found that i couldn’t enable even after trying everything i read in the internet. But i had used Vista with Aero before, in the same machine, for 30 days. But this time Aero just didn’t seem to work. After 2 hours of reading forums and blogs, i found the fix. My NVDIA driver, provided with CD will not work. Also, the latest from NVIDIA doesn’t work. The only one that enabled Aero is 96.85_forceware_winvista_x86_international_whql. So, just down it from here.

Mass File Extension Rename
Here is how to rename a number of files’ extensions to another extension. Say, for example, some virus renamed all .mp3 files to .jpg files. Now, you need to rename these files back to .mp3 files. You can do this easy.
- Create a text file, and rename it to, say extren.bat
- [Right click on the file] > Edit
- enter the line below and save
- For /r %%x in (%1) do ren “%%x” %2
Now, if you want to change all .jpg files to .mp3 files,
- Put the .bat file into the folder of files’ whose extensions are to be changed.
- Traverse to that folder in command line
- Enter extren.bat *.jpg *.mp3
That is, the format of the command is extren.bat *.<from extension> *.<to extension>
This command changes the extensions of all files that are in <from extension> to <to extension>, in current directory, as well as sub-directories.
