If windows does not know what to use to open it, it will have a generic icon and will prompt you for a program to open it, when you click on it. Be aware that Windows can hide the file extensions, so you won't be able to see it in file lists. You can change this. In explorer, click on 'tools' at the top of the window, then 'folder options', then 'view'. Down the list, you will see a tick box that hides known file extensions. Un-tick it, to see extensions in file lists. On the next tab 'File Types', you can see a list of all the know file extensions and the programs they are associated with.

To view file extensions, users can enable the "File name extensions" checkbox in the "View" tab of the Ribbon in File Explorer.

Rules for file extensions are based mainly on the underlying operating system and/or file system. Generally speaking, file extensions are just a part of the file name, and can be set to whatever you like.
File extensions are suffixes added to the end of a filename, typically consisting of a period followed by a few letters, that indicate the file type and format. Common examples include .txt for plain text files, .jpg for image files, and .docx for Microsoft Word documents.
