This is Joseph. The actual thing is found in File Types page on the Windows Explorer. At the Folder Options dialog box, press CTRL+TAB to get to the file types page. Tell Windows Explorer to add a file extention. It'll ask you for the file extention and the details about it. The instructions are lengthy (I have to look at that myself). At the Web-Braille site, when you are downloading a .brf book, make sure that you are downloading it in text document format for reading on your BN. I hope this information may help you. P.S. You can do this via Control Panel under Folder Options.

I don't have the directions anymore, but you should be able to find them somewhere on the site.
