BAK

[GRIP123]

Whenever I need to open a BAK file, I just change the file extension from BAK to DWG, but this time my file folder is showing an icon representing a BAK file, how do I change it to DWG?

Hi,

This is a windows explorer setting. Open Folder Options by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, and then clicking Folder Options, then search for Hide extensions for known file types and uncheck this option.

Without an image, I can't be sure I fully understand the issue, but this sounds like a Windows thing, where it sometimes just doesn't keep up with certain changes.  I would expect it to resolve itself eventually, particularly if you re-start your machine.

Dear Sir:

Yes, you are totally right, it was a windows issue. Thanks for taking the
time to respond, your time and effort is greatly appreciated.
