More speed blogging…
Working for an SEO agency I often find myself performing tasks like editing the .htaccess file. Sometimes Windows can drive you screaming up the wall. Actually most of the time. Today I was dredging my memory trying to remember how to rename the .htaccess.txt file back to .htaccess. There might be a nice user friendly way of doing it via explorer but I can’t remember it – so old school methods it is:
If you find yourself in this predicament I would suggest firing up the dos prompt (type ‘cmd’ at the start bar)

Navigate to the correct directory ( using ‘cd ..’ to navigate up to the root directory and ‘cd mydestination‘ to move back down again)
Then use the ‘rename’ command to change the filename i.e. ren .htaccess.txt .htaccess).

Sorted.
