The default view in Windows Explorer hides the extensions of all known file-types, in such cases changing file extensions becomes difficult. You can change the default setting though to display the file extensions for all file types by opening the Folder options in Windows Explorer and un-checking the option that says, “Hide extensions for know file types”.

This is very useful if you want to change a image file from jpg to png or bmp.
Just right click and rename the extension and the change is done. Quick!

it’s quite useful though to turn on viewing file extensions. mostly because it’s easier to see if a file is what it says it is, or a trojan.
