I need some help. My boss has transfered a file, and to elimate the firewall problems, she converted the .exe file to a .bat file, and now she can not convert it back to an .exe file. Any ideas? Thanks 🙂
 
Are you sure she didn't just rename it? I don't think you can just openly convert an exe to a bat as bats cannot interface with memory/registers/system calls like exes can, unless you have a system specifically designed for that purpose (meaning tons of support libraries/separate programs that allow a bat to act like an exe). If it was a firewall problem (meaning it denies requests for transmission of certain file types) you may be able to just rename the file.

it probably recognized a .bat extension, treated it as text, and blew away a whole bunch of the non-printable characters. try sending it as gif or jpeg or some other binary format (doc, pdf, etc)
 
Yes, she just renamed it, and now the file will not convert back to the .exe file as originally was. 🙂
