i want to rename a folder into an extension... we can do this with files but not with folders... i am making a software which encrypts files and folders. for that it renames them into my custom made extension...

alternatively i know folder can be renamed into GUID like {21ec2020-3aea-1069-a2dd-08002b30309d}...

is there a way by which i can associate a guid with my software and then rename it into that guid...

thnx in advance

Solution 1

I believe you would have to write a Shell Extension.

There is no simple way to do what you want.
