Can't rename extensions

[hdofu]

I'm having problems renaming extensions in Tiger latest version, I've tried everything I can think of all I get are "Insufficent Privilleges" errors when I try using software specifically designed for renaming extensions. What do I do? Yes I am running it through an admin account.

Download the Automater action Change Extensions (if you are using 10.4.x.).

I tried that and the files still keep returning to their previous extension :/

What type of files are you trying to change the extension?
What is the actual extension, and what are you trying to change to?
Are the files located inside your user folder (files on your desktop would normally be in your user folder)?

I'm trying to rename some files incorectly named as bin files. They are located on my desktop
