    well maybe you dont actually need to rename it. (if your burning app lets you do this) open the .bin.exe file with your burning app like you would a normal bin file, exept when you get the browse menu, select all filetypes. then just locate the file, and open it. it should work if it really is a bin file.

    In windows explorer, go to Tools>Folder Options

    Then go to the View tab, and deselect "Hide extensions for known file types"

    Then rename the file, its probably a .bin file, so I would try getting rid of the .exe

    Whatever you do, MAKE A BACKUP FIRST!!!
