Best Answer

Windows uses the whole file-name extension. For example, a visual basic script extension is .vbs. Windows recognizes the pattern .vbs as a visual basic script,

or a .txt short for text. .rtf for rich text format, and so forth. you can change default programs for the file extension in the control panel. File extensions that windows does not recognize are usually from programs or codecs you do not have on your computer.

Can you explain the Windows Explorer window?

Windows Explorer is a file manager application that is included with releases of the Microsoft Windows operating system from Windows 95onwards. It provides a graphical user interface for accessing the file systems. It is also the component of the operating system that presents many user interface items on the monitor such as the taskbar and desktop. Controlling the computer is possible without Windows Explorer running (for example, the File | Run command in Task Manager on NT-derived versions of Windows will function without it, as will commands typed in a command prompt window). It is sometimes referred to as the Windows Shell, explorer.exe, or simply "Explorer".
