- In any folder on your hard drive go to "Tools" > "Folder Options" > "View" tab then scroll down to "Hide extensions for known file types" and uncheck that box.
Click "OK" to save changes. Now you should see the file extension which you can rename.
How do I download streaming files? eg. mms://
Install and run Replay Media Catcher from Applian Technologies. It allows you save almost any streaming file. Plus, it has a scheduler for recording radio and TV shows (like a VCR). It's easy to use, and is the best all-purpose streaming media recording software.
Copy protected streaming formats can't be saved using the above tools - for that, try WM Capture. It can make a screen capture video (including audio) from anything you see on your screen. It's really easy to use, and it works great.
