Open With Notepad

[wbunnell]

Some of the files I have selected to open with notepad, open with all kinds of symbols and letters I don't understand, For instance,

What is the file extension of the file (.txt ,doc, .exe, etc.)?

It is a xlsx.file, first time I've seen.

From one of the many file extension sites:

XLSX is a file extension for an open XML spreadsheet file format used by Microsoft Excel.

Microsoft introduced the open XML standard to Microsoft Office in 2007 after a push from business users who saw the value in an open file format for transferring data between applications and other areas of working with the files. Support can also be added to earlier versions of Excel with Open XML component support.

It is unusual to see a file that ends with the ".file" file extension.

Please post screenshot showing us where you see this type of file extension. If need be, consult this tutorial http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/9733-screenshots-files-upload-post-seven-forums.html
