What is a critical situation? Never heard of it. What's wrong with proper backups?

Hi Buddy,

Just rename the BAK file into proper source code type. If it is a C++ project file, you just simply rename it to CPP extension.

Ex:
c:\> ren test.bak test.cpp

Execute the command in command prompt only.

If all your files are in the same directory, the rename command allows wildcards:

C++

c:\> ren *.bak *.cpp

Hope it helps.
