    File with no extension shows up as a folder.


    When I create a file with no extension it turns into a folder, but the folder doesn't work as a folder, It works as a file.When I try to open the "folder" It prompts me to choose the program to open it, but in properties it shows up as a folder.It might be some kind of registry issue. I'd rather avoid having to reinstall windows.I have tried DISM but it didn't find anything.

    :)

    Generating a .txt based file list in Windows 7

    I want to be able to generate a .txt file that lists all the files and folders in a specific folder on my PC, but don't know the name of any programs that do that. Searched on google a bit and came up with this guide, but it's for XP and I can't seem to find some of the folder options to modify the .bat file. Any suggestions? Thanks

    http://www.theeldergeek.com/file_list_generator.htm

    EDIT: The .bat file will do what I want if it is in the folder I want to do it in, but the option I want to add is having the right click option that it shows.

    Hi,

    We suggest that you check if the folder is hidden by following these steps:

    • In the search box on the taskbar, type folder, and then select
      Show hidden files and folders from the search results.
    • Under Advanced settings, select Show hidden files, folders, and drives, and then select
      OK.
    Let us know how it goes.

    Windows 10 .bak file extensions not showing

    Hi Tom,

    The .bak file is a file extension of the backup files. To delete the unwanted backup files, please follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows key. Type backup, then select
      Backup and Restore (Windows 7).
    • Under Back up or restore your files, click Manage space.
    • Under Manage Windows Backup disk space, you will see the
      Backup location
      .
    • Under Data file backup, click View backups.
    • Under Select a back period to delete, choose the backups you want to delete.

    Note: You have an option to delete the earlier system image to save a disk space. To do so, check the following steps:

    • Go back to the Manage Windows Backup disk space window.
    • Under System image, click Change settings.
    • Under Select how Windows retains older system images, choose from the 2 options.

    Feel free to post back should you need further assistance.
