Chupacabra: Thanks for that feedback.

PaulB: Extensions are a bit tricky in Windows since by default Microsoft
likes to hide them. I suggest this to make sure you really are seeing the
file extensions (I change this on every PC I touch since I work with such
diverse files, many from the Linux world):
- Control Panel (Classic View)
- Folder Options
- View Tabsheet
- Uncheck: "Hide extensions for known file types"
