  44. ECHO.
  45. ECHO By default, Windows NT and 2000 evaluate file extensions on the first
  46. ECHO three characters: "filename.html" is actually treated as "filename.htm".
  47. ECHO Therefore if you use a command such as "del *.htm" to delete all the
  48. ECHO ".htm" files, you will also delete all ".html" files as well.
  49. ECHO This behaviour will be referred to as "extension truncation".
  50. ECHO Extension truncation can be disabled by modifying the registry, which
  51. ECHO is exactly what this batch file can do for you.
