Most likely, you have set your Explorer options to show file extensions (as most any sane person would). The install default is to hide them (along with opening each folder in a new window and not showing the full path in the title bar, all of which I find most annoying), which is why the average sofa spud luser is apt to fall for these tricks. -- Roy M.

My standard Windows settings are to hide extensions for known file-types -- ignoring questions of sanity, it is prettier and I generally don't run any program I am unfamiliar with regardless of file extension. If there is a separate option for changing this behaviour only within Outlook Express, I am not even aware it exists.
