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

I'm attempting to run a test cgi script on windows xp with apache

No such file or directory: script not found or unable to stat: c:/program files/apache group/apache/cgi-bin/test.py
Another cgi script using a different interpreter (rebol) is running properly. I was receiving
the same error message with the rebol script until I corrected the first line (she-bang).
here is the code for the script:
#!d:\Python23\python
print "Content-type: text/html\n"
print "hello"
## I can confirm the the first line does contain the correct path to
## the python executable. I have tried it with and without the ".exe"

This has been solved. Classic, just classic. I had created a test script, and named it "test.py". Hah! windows renamed it "test.py.py", and it was obfuscated when I edited it. One could say either: 1)Dumb windows newbie or 2)Dumb windows strategy I'll leave that one up to the reader. ---- tim
