Or, if you do this often, and just want to type it once:
1) Make a new text file in notepad
2) Save it as "rename.bat" or "jpetojpeg.bat" or whatever you want to call it. Just be sure the extention is ".bat"
---- .bat is a batch file. You use these to run... well.. batches.
3) Type what hawkeye wrote in the text/batch file. "REN *.jpe *.jpeg"
---- REN = is code for "rename"
---- *.jpe is a wildcard, for all files that end in .jpe
---- *.jpeg is a wildcard, for all files that WILL end in .jpeg.
---- so in all instantes of (filename).jpe, where * is the filename, it will rename the .jpe file to .jpeg and keep the original file name.
----
Once you save it, put it in a folder with all your .jpe image files. If you store all your images in C:\Images, then put the batch file in there. Double click it to run, and in a few seconds, all your image files will have their new extention. Then, you can cut and paste the batch file into other image folders and do the same thing.
