Managing tabs, address bar, and search settings in Edge on Windows 11
This browser is no longer supported.
Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
I found this video, it contained someone using windows 10 in 2020, they created a .txt file on their desktop. Once they did that, they were renaming the file, but it included the file TYPE. How do I do that? But most importantly, how can’t I do that? Is it because I’m using windows 11, or is it because it’s 2023?
Also, I want to figure this out so I can make something using visual studio and whatnot.
Could you help me with that?

Hello 2DOGGO4,
I am Jaspreet Singh.
You need to enable file extentions viewing in file explorer.
Open file explorer by pressing windows and E keys together
Click on view then click on show from the dropdown
In the next dropdown ensure that file extentions are enabled.
Thanks for the help, I may have this enabled only for one file modification, but now I can change file types from one to another effortlessly!
I am glad to hear that. Have a great day ahead and please feel free to mark your answer if I helped.
Yay, it works! Now I can continue making my own operating system!
