..because otherwise i dont know how i wouldve renamed my notepad-created map.svg.txt to simply map.svg.

I can't rename the file in properties, but I see now that notepad would have named it correctly if I selected all files from the drop down when i was saving it the first time, but once the file is created this neglects to work.

Not the first time this has pissed me off...

worker201:
Notepad is a mistake, I've found.  A simple text editor that can't do the simplest editing tasks.

Kintaro:
I use notepad to write poems in.

Glory to notepad the greatest editor
as small as Vi excluding shared libraries
but those are already loaded
because windows is so bloated
but it really isn't that bad
compared to what other systems have had
they could leave you with fucking wordpad

Besides you do /etc pretty much with regedit
but only if you're using the work of an idiot
who couldn't write some configuration shit
like whoever did Windows NTP
it makes me want to scream
They can have you using HDDs and SSDs
In a well-optimized sequential or not symphony
But sometimes they can't do the simplest things.

But you really can't complain, because Linux is gay
Pulseaudio broke everyone elses shit -
but they still included it.
And although that was a long time ago.
You'll really never ever get to know.
How much the Canonical downstream fucking blows.

I really sure love to use BSD.
But there is something about ports, you see.
It's really doesn't have much continuity
Portsupdate, portupgrade or portsnap?
Will you instead go use packages?
But you can't then have certain features.
Unless you compile them for your reasons.

I say I hate Apple's machines
Not that I've really ever owned one or anything.
Mostly I've just used those of other people.
And I think Steve Jobs is pretty evil.
He probably fucking eats people.
I've really ran out of ideas.
But I think you will all agree,
its probably because I'm out of weed.

Oh no, no, it sounds like you've got it set up to hide the extensions of known file types which is the default setting and is really insecure because it enables harmful malware to be disguised as harmless non executable files e.g. I love you.txt.exe

I'd show you how to fix it but as you know, it's against the rules to provide Winblows help but the solution is probably easy to find on the Internet.

Refalm:
Some say "HideFileExt" "1" is the biggest failure for security in Windows. But, because Microsoft has implemented it since Windows 95, most Windows users are accustomed to it. I actually know some network administrators who make a Windows image with HideFileExt on 0 for themselves, then set it to 1 as a group policy for normal users.

That's because most normal users change the name "Financial Report v0.9.docx" to "Financial Report v1.0".
Of course, then it won't open automatically by Word.
