There is a Windows setting that controls how file names are
displayed. Open a folder window and choose Tools then Folder
options. In the View tab, uncheck "Hide extensions for known file
types".

Hi everybody,

On one computer I can save an excel file that would show for
example
"Book1", Then on another computer if I try to save a file it
saves it
as "Book1.xls", I notice that all the files have this xls
attachment on
the end on one computer but not on the other. Why is it doing
this and
can it be corrected. The only way I can rename a file on this
computer
is by leaving the .xls there?

Thanks for any help

Larry
