    my boyfriend has put parental locks on our desktop. He is using multiple IP addresses on his laptop as well as multiple wi fi addresses. He has turned all files into dll and exe so they can not be ooened or read. Feeling stupid, but what does all this mean?

    My advice. Date a human. If he doesn't trust you, he doesn't deserve you. If he is hiding things from you, he doesn't deserve you.

      Like what Mr. Maunder says. i'd rename some as .txt then open in notepad and see if you can work out what type of file they really are. Assuming he's really changed them and isn't just playing some prank that he can undo. As soon as you can get access to email - send him one.

        I'm curious - is she a developer or did she just stumble here looking for a general tech support site ? :P

            Probability, but you're right, it's not a certainty.

              If those files are big size(like 500+MB), probably that'll be video files. Try Rename those files using video file extensions as Chris said(Ex. File1.dll -> File1.avi, BTW use VLC player to open video files). Agree with others, he's not a boyfriend. Get rid of him

                  If there's a file called 2g1c.dll I strongly advise you to not try to look at that. Believe me, it's better that way. Things that have been seen cannot be unseen. Cheers!

                    Change the boyfriend. And also the parental "solution". How the fuck to change all files into binaries?

                      Easy:

                      string path = @"D:\Temp\";
                      string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(path, "*.*", SearchOption.AllDirectories);
                      foreach (string file in files)
                      {
                      string newPath = file.Substring(0, file.Length - Path.GetExtension(file).Length) + ".exe";
                      if (file != newPath)
                      {
                      File.Move(file, newPath);
                      }
                      }

                      Mind you, you'll have to cope with the system files, and such like...

                          Thanks, I know *how to* do this. (And I'd prefer the much easier PathRenameExtension[^] instead of the buggy C# code - what happens if you have 1.txt and 1.exe and you rename 1.txt in 1.exe, for example?). I was talking about how dumb a solution would be to rename everything in .dll and .exe. I can't think a single reason to do this except an installer or update tool.

                                      I think words like 'destiny' are a way of trying to find order where none exists. - Christian Graus Entropy isn't what it used to.

                                      That's the (w)hole basis of the movie Human Centipede. Never seen 2G1C nor the centipede movies. Yes, it became a trilogy.

                                        my boyfriend has put parental locks on our desktop. He is using multiple IP addresses on his laptop as well as multiple wi fi addresses. He has turned all files into dll and exe so they can not be ooened or read. Feeling stupid, but what does all this mean?

                                        Move out. Your life is in danger. When SWAT busts down your door looking for whoever has access to that computer, they will shoot first, and not bother asking questions.

                                          My advice. Date a human. If he doesn't trust you, he doesn't deserve you. If he is hiding things from you, he doesn't deserve you.

                                          I assume OP's in high school. her boyfriend is probably just hiding his extensive collection of porn. :-D
