changing file names!

[Sherry]

When I explore my files on the computer, the three-letter
file name (ex. - .exe, .asf) does not show up and I can't
figure out how to rename a file extension! I need to
change some of these extensions in order to run a program
I have. Please help!
thanks,
Sherry

This is a very basic and simple question with an equally simple answer

Go to My Computer....Tools.....Folder Options.........View

untick hide file extensions
