We understand what you want, and are trying to help you get there.
I doubt seriously that the file extension is .file
Quicktime files will have extensions of .qt or .mov
So I'm guessing that you don't know what a file extension is.
XP's default display hides the extensions, I'd suggest that you enable viewing them:
From any Folder, click on Tools, Folder Options, the View tab, uncheck the box labeled 
Hide extensions for known file types.
Then again, what is the file extension of the files in question?
