- By default Windows will hide file extensions for know file types. As
a result a file that looks like it has the name
-
- script1
-
- may really be named
-
- script1.txt
-
- As a result I often have students hand in names such as:
-
- script1.sql.sql
- script1.sql.txt
- script1.txt.sql
- script1.txt.txt
-
- What I would like is
-
- script1.sql
To see all file extensions:
- double click on the MY COMPUTER icon
- choose TOOLS --> FOLDER OPTIONS from the pull down menu
- select the VIEW TAB
- UNcheck the box that says "hide file extensions for know file
types"
