[Tutor] Problems with test cgi script on windows XP/Apache

[Jacob S.]

I find it's convenient to get rid of that problem.

The easy thing to get to folder options
You can
1) Go to control panel and click folder options
2) Open a folder, click the view menu, and choose folder options

Either way it's the same screen.
Now, in the middle tab, there is a checkmark about halfway in the viewable 
scrollbox that says something like "Hide extensions for known file types" 
Unclick that and click apply. Click OK.

This should show all extensions, except the .lnk and .pif extensions on 
their appropriate shortcuts, and therefore you can change the file type and 
not cause the problem you have all by using rename! Much better and 
understandable IMHO.

HTH,
Jacob
