How to Extract Files From Aio


October 31, 2007 Posted By: Jim ~ Filed under Category: Other

Step 1.

Download an AIO that was generated by Autoplay Media Studio ( most of them are )

Step 2.

Extract it from rar, if applicable, to a folder on your hard drive. Make another folder next to it bearing the name of the AIO you are about to extract from itself.

Step 3.

Fire it up. *Note - the AIO.exe format is a self extracting file which Winrar can handle, but most times the files inside are password protected, including click.ogg and others. Not sure how to break that. Proceed…

Step 4.

a. While it’s running, open up your XP profile Temp directory (ex. C:\Documents and Settings\Bombenhagel\Local Settings\Temp)… This is assuming you are using WinXP, although it should be about the same for Win2000. On Win98, although it just may be C:\Windows\Temp.

b. If the AIO opens in full screen mode, just do an Alt.+Tab to change over to any folder you may already have open, and browse to the Temp directory. Your AIO should be in a directory called ir_ext_temp_0 or similar. Inside there should be 2 items, one executable called autorun.exe and a folder called AutoPlay by default, although it may called something else depending on who packed the AIO.

Rename Downloaded Files Extension


October 31, 2007 Posted By: Jim ~ Filed under Category: Internet

You all downloaded some game or app once that was 50 parts big, and you had to rename them all from .bmp to .rar to extract them.

You can easily create a batch file that does that for you.

Open Notepad
fill in the notepad:
ren *.bmp *.rar

Of course, you have to edit these two extensions to fit the files you want to convert. Save this file as renamer.bat and run it in the directory where you want to rename your downloads.
