First open a folder.....goto Tools>>Folder Options

Click on the View tab....

Uncheck the Hide File Extensions for Known File Types option....

Now goto the folder where u saved that file and check if it has some extension like.......zip, .exe , .msi , etc....

If it doesnt have any extension then try adding some extension and try to run the file....

Just add a Dot followed by extension like .exe or .msi

Try these extensions...

EXE
MSI
ZIP
RAR


or goto the webpage where u downloaded that file and see the extension there....

Yes, adding .exe can make a difference. Well i had some good software setup, n i wished that my friend shouldnt open it. So what i did was changed the .exe to .jsd n it worked!!!! It can be opened only when it is renamed to .exe. Its a good idea. U may try it!!!!!
