Question about 'Display your file extensions'

The note about Display
your file extensions describes how to have file extensions display in the browser.
I guess I've gotten used to having the extension hidden. My problem is that if the
extension is wrong, there is no way to fix it. If I rename "foo.txt" (with
".txt" hidden) to "foo.blah", the file is really named "foo.blah.txt". Without having
extensions shown, how can I change the extension?

(notepad) Don't save it as a txt-file.

I've always just dropped to DOS & change it that way. Through explorer would be
more convient though.

Just because you got used to it doesn't mean it's a good thing :-)
Seriously thoug, show extensions, then you won't have this problem.

Oh, I changed the extensions option. Still, the command prompt is much faster if
there are a batch of files to be renamed.
