I have an .EXE file that was sent to me through e-mail, but the file was changed to .EX_ because google doesn’t like to send .EXE files.
Anyway, i copied the file to my desktop and i can’t rename it with a .exe extension. If i try changing the name by simply highlighting the name (GUI V1.ex_) it just becomes "GUI V1.exe.ex_ "
Same thing if I right click then click properties
i’m sure it’s simple…but how do i make it “GUI V1.exe”?
you should be able to just change it, try right clicking, rename.
go to your control pannel and click on folder options --> view --> uncheck "hide extensions of known file types… rename file 
yeah… that’s what i had tried and mentioned in the inital post. Then when i double click to run it… i get this.
Jon…i’ll try your way in a sec
Jon… you rock. That worked. :tup:
or use dos and:
ren whatever.ex_ whatever.exe
:tup: I <3 the disk operating system
That is what I was thinking also
