Shari, For windows you need to use a file extension which tells the Windows OS what app to open. If you just write a file called "MyStuff", it will look generic and won't open in an app when you double-click it (you'll get an "Open with..." dialog box). If you name it "MyStuff.txt", it will launch Notepad when you double-click it (unless the user has mapped the ".txt" extension to another app).
