The default file extension for notepad is .txt. However, you can designate notepad as the primary application for any extension.
Every computer file has some extentions like .html, .txt, .xls etc For example when you create a text file using Notepad, say anil.txt Here anil is the file name and .txt is the extension.
Text files, commonly with extensions like .txt, .csv, or .log, can be opened and viewed in a simple text editor such as Notepad. These files contain plain text without special formatting, making them suitable for easy editing and viewing. Additionally, some code files (like .html or .py) can also be opened in Notepad, as they are primarily text-based. However, binary files (like .exe or .jpg) cannot be properly viewed in Notepad, as they contain non-text data.
Notepad files aren't something that just pop up on your system. You have to make them through the program called Notepad, which can be found at Start>All Programs>Accessories>Notepad. Once you have made the notepad document, you can save it somewhere on the computer, and then it is an editable Notepad file.
They're used as extensions to identify picture files.
To have common file extensions visible when viewing files, you can enable the option to show file extensions in your operating system's settings. For example, in Windows, you can go to File Explorer, click on the "View" tab, and check the box for "File name extensions." On macOS, you can go to Finder, select "Preferences," then check "Show all filename extensions." This will allow you to see the extensions for all files in the file manager.

With a text editor: notepad, for example.
Notepad is a simple text editor for Microsoft Windows. Unlike WordPad, Notepad does not treat newlines in Unix- or Mac-style text files correctly.
INC file extensions usually indicate that they are "include" files (i.e. they are written with the intent to being called from another source code file). These files are opened using any normal text editor, such as Notepad, Vi, or Edit. Special editors also exist for the language that the source code within is written in, and typically includes auto-completion, syntax highlighting, and error checking.
Surround the name of the program in quotation marks, such as: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Programmer's Notepad\pn.exe".
Word files include data about the formatting of the text (font, color, size, centered, margins, etc.). Notepad files (usually .txt) are plain text files--no formatting, just text.
