Boom, Elysia's wrong!
Oh well, guess my money was misplaced too.
BTW AirBronto, I'd turn extensions on.

Sigh. Every file has an extension. You can change the default behavior in Windows, in Explorer's settings.
You should know that -_-
Thanks agian every one. If there is any thing i hate about programming it is that if you have not done something for a while it totally leaves your head on the littlest of semantics.
Not every file
I guess they did it to be more user friendly.
Again, it's a security risk and they're so zealous over security too.
Not every file, no, but 99% of them do have an extension. Mostly just non-Windows projects, and such use files with no extensions.
Perhaps you can find what file it is by the look of its icon on windows. If its a txt file, u would have got the notepad icon.

Icons are so easy to fake, though. Any extension can have any icon, so it's better just to turn on extensions.
Then again, several extensions share the same icons. Ie .jpeg and .jpg. You can't exactly guess.
Just turn them on already
Not to mention that it's dependant on what application you have told to open text files - I have an Xemacs icon on my .txt files. But I have also set explorer to "do not hide hidden and system files" and "show extension on known file-types". I like to know exactly what I have on the hard-disk, at least when I go look there, I want to see it all.Originally Posted by ssharish2005

Compilers can produce warnings - make the compiler programmers happy: Use them!
Please don't PM me for help - and no, I don't do help over instant messengers.
I tend to have Explorer hide system files because I don't want to see them since I usually don't mess with them. When I need to, all I need is to tell explorer to show them. But I do show hidden files since I usually have to access them sometimes.
