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

What makes you assume the OP is a she?

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.

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

Change the boyfriend. And also the parental "solution". How the f*** 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 didn't know of any reasons either, but now I do: to mess with your significant other.

Or
C:>ren *.* *.jpg /s
Leaves the system files untouched (if they are attributed properly).

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.

Sounds like you need to get your own computer, password protect it really well and never let him use it.
He does sound like a controlling idiot.
And how is it you knew he was using multiple IP addresses and WiFis?

Who can make T-shirts? I've got an idea for one: The "Internet of Things" with the usual array of computers connected by lines and clouds and what-not, but instead of computers it will be The Thing from the Fantastic Four - "The Internet of Things" or "The Internet of The Things"
It may sound Grimm to you, but it meets my tough standards.

Sounds good, but step one - get legal permission (licencing or whatever) for the use of "The Thing" name and imagery...
