Get rid of warning when changing file extensions in Leopard

In the Mac Finder, you get a warning every time you change the extension of a file. In Leopard, they've added a preference that allows you to change this so that you no longer get the warning. To make this change open a Finder window and go to the menu bar and select "Finder" then "Preferences". The new option is called "Show warning before changing an extension". If you uncheck this box, you will no longer get warned when you change a file extension in the Finder.
