    File extension

    Can anybody help?
    Whenever I need to save any attachment from Outlook or any program, I have
    to type the file ext. like .pdf or .doc after the file name. If I forget to
    type the ext. it will save as unknown and the next time I open that file, it
    cannot identify the file ext.

    That's pretty amusing! *nix deals with files by content rather than
    looking at what a 'file extension' might be.
