So, if you are anything like I am, you know enough about what you are doing on your computer that when you change a file extension name you intend to do it. In Mac OS X, around 10.2 (don’t quote me on this) Apple introduced a “fix” to the OS where it asks you *every time* you change a file extension if you really want to do it. I, like many of you, was so annoyed with this “feature”. Yes, they had a reason for doing it. Yes, they (Apple that is) meant to solve a security risk by adding it, but for most (if not all) of us it was more of a burden than a blessing.Well, fret no more my little dumplings.With Mac OS 10.5, Apple finally realized that people are not as careless as they had previously thought and now have an option to disable this feature. Here is how to use it.While in the finder, select the “Finder” drop down menu than select the “Preferences…” option.

Select the “Advanced” tab and you will see an option for “Show warning before changing file extension”.

Un-check that box and VIOLA! No more annoying confirmations!

Amazing.

I hope this makes you as happy as it made me.
