Try Flexible Renamer from here :
http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA014830/english/FlexRena/
Use advanced rename -> RegExp
Search for = (.*)\.(.*)
Replace with = \1.mp3
Should work.

There are many freewares to rename extensions in one go. one more to poboy's suggestion :
ReNamer
ReNamer is a small, yet very flexible file and folder renaming tool, that offers all the standard renaming procedures, including prefixes, suffixes, replacements, case changes as well as advanced options. In addition, it can also remove brackets, add number sequences, remove digits or symbols and change file extensions. The program allows you to combine multiple renaming actions as a rule set, applying each action in logical sequence. Other features include support for 30 different meta fields, including EXIF, ID3 and others, that can be used as part of the new file name.

no inbuilt way in windows xp? or dos? i thought i saw somewhere related...but cant find...
one step in command prompt
the following will work just fine to convert extension (replace with blah) into mp3 extensions.
>rename *.blah *.mp3
if you want to save it as a bat file,
1.open notepad
2.type the following rename *.blah *.mp3
3.save file as "convert.bat" . make sure the quotes are there.else it will be saved as convert.bat.txt
4.double click on convert.bat or go to command prompt and open the file by simply typing ~dir>convert
