You may be just over thinking the problem. If you ended up with a file called blah.CUP.TXT, just rename the file and delete the .TXT part. Right click and choose "rename". Simple! Save-As is trying too hard!

Hi John,

one used to be able to do that in the older IE versions, where the entire file name was shown. In my IE7, no file extensions show up in the name and the only hint that something is fishy is the file type column, which in my case was showing 'TXT-file'. The 'Save-As' option in IE7 saved the day; I have not found that option in Chrome yet.

Uli - I hear you. Each time new browsers come out they make things "better". ;-(

Read one of the following to make file extensions all show up in Windows explorer;

Windows 7 - http://askabouttech.com/how-to-show-...-in-windows-7/
Windows XP - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/865219
Windows Vista - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/w...ame-extensions

Of course IE7 is way out of date. Microsoft is now up to IE10. Personally I have installed multiple browsers on my Windows 7 machine. Each has its good/bad attributes and I have learned which I need to use, when and for what purpose. I have IE, Firefox and Chrome loaded.

Good luck, John
