QUESTION 02 – RENAMING

· Go to the directory LessonWork03/SMB.

· Use dir to see the contents of the directory. Notice that each file / directory has a typo in it.

· Rename each item to its correct name.

For example, use:

ren murio.txt mario.txt

· Once you are done fixing all the typos, rename all of the files this directory so that they have the .dat extension instead of the .txt extension. All files should be renamed using a single command. (So one of the files should be named mario.dat.)
