1. Is it possible to copy and paste your Firefox or IE browsing history into a text document?

2. Is it possible to use the command prompt to quickly change (or say add '.flv' to) all the file extensions of every file in a certain folder?

Cheers!

1.
Firefox 3
check out sqlite-manager
the database you want to read is places.sqlite

Pre-Firefox 3
MozillaHistoryView


2.
create a text file with this content:
@for %%1 in (%1) do ren "%%~1" "%%~nx1%2"


give it a name with a .cmd extention, let's say "append_ext.cmd"
then run it with the filename you want to rename (can use wildcards) as the first parameter, the second parameter is what you want to add to the end of the filename. (remember the "." for adding extension)
eg:
append_ext.cmd C:\Test\* .flv

2. You could go into the folder and provided that you only have the files you want to rename in there, type;

REN *.* *.FLV

Important: Don't do this in the C:\WINDOWS folder.
