It was the same issue with File/Dir Explorer in XP and now the same in
Vista.
How do you change the 3-letter file name extension for any file?
In XP, I used to run command window and do it manually from command
line.
How do you access command window in Vista anyway?

Folder Options -> 'View' tab -> uncheck 'Hide extensions for known file
types'

Then the extension can be changed like any other rename.

Start Menu -> 'Start Search' box -> type 'comm' and it should be your only
choice.

Or 'cmd' and save a keystroke.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

First thing I do when I install a new OS.
