.dat files

I aaccidentally opened a .dat file with BSPlayer and now when I for instance change the name to movie.avi it remains a .dat file...

If you know what I mean... Is their any way to solve this problem???
It's quite important because most of the .dat files I download are episodes of series I watch.

open .dat with daemon tools :O
REINSTALL ? FORMAT? /QUIT?
Rename with dos prompt:

rename movie.avi.dat movie.avi or something like that.
and how does that work?

open command prompt in windows move the file to an easy location as you have to type the whole file path.

i.e c:/rename c:/movie.avi.dat c:/movie.avi

type c:/rename /? for sytnax
