Changing file extension in Windows 10 for several hundred files

I have always preferred the .MUS extension for my scores, so now I have several hundred scores that need to be changed to .MYR, or I will end up with multiples as I edit them (that will distress me even more than having to change the extensions). Back in the DOS days, I knew how to change the extensions on multiple files quite easily, but how to do it in Windows 10? Advice, anyone?

Tu peux toujours le refaire sous DOS, en lançant "invite de commandes" dans le menu programme.
Il faut juste faire la commande "ren" comme dans le bon vieux DOS.
Il y a aussi le programme "Ant Renamer" qui peut le faire facilement aussi. C'est un petit programme gratuit qui circule sut Internet.
Bonne soirée.

Bonsoir Paul, tu peux essayer de faire ceci depuis Harmony Assistant avec le script suivant (fais d'abord une copie de tes fichiers au cas où il y aurait un problème)
Copie le code suivant dans un nouveau script puis tu le démarres.
En principe cela fonctionne (il se peut que cela ne fonctionne pas avec des noms de fichiers contenant des caractères accentués)
--- This script renames all .mus to .myr files in a folder and its subfolders
--- Callback function declaration
function MyCallBackFunction(fileName)
a=strsub(fileName,1,strlen(fileName)-3)
RenameFile(fileName,a.."myr")
print(a.."myr")
return true
end
-- User is aked for selecting a folder name
folderName=GetFolderName()
if(folderName~=nil) then
BrowseFolder(folderName,"*.mus",MyCallBackFunction,true)
end
Amitats, Danièl.

You can still access the procedures that you knew of old: in the Windows search area, type CMD
At the familiar prompt, type HELP for a list of commands, or HELP {command} for the format of a particular command (upper case/lower case insensitive)
or see this link: https://www.lifewire.com/list-of-command-prompt-commands-4092302
In the attached example, I used Harmony Assistant's Help > Open "Myriad Documents" folder to copy the path to the relevant music folder.
Navigate to the required folder and single-click it. In the Windows area near the top-left, click Copy path.
(Note: Because of a bug in version 992, you need to go one folder-level deeper than in 993)
For some reason I have yet to fathom, I had difficulty using the Change Directory (CD) command, and have used the Push Directory command instead

Merci, vous sont tous des gentilhommes et écolaires (comme nous disons en anglais)! Le "DOS box" existe toujours en Windows 10? Qui le savait? Je croyais qu'ils l'avaient supprimé. Je sais l'utiliser, mais j'aime aussi le script de Daniel. Cool!
Merci beaucoup à tous, et mes meilleurs voeux pour l'année nouvelle.
