Thanks for the additional info (& the URL for specialFolderPath codes), Ken.that was because the READ ME FIRST file was one that effectively "asked" the user to double-click it. If you have Rev files that don't need to be double-clicked (i.e. they're opened from within another program automatically), you can forego the extension. Personally, I feel that *all files* on *all platforms* should have an extension for multiplatform compatibility, but that's just my opinion. ;-)
You've made your position on file name extensions clear; but let me ask this: Might it be a good idea to exclude extensions on files one does NOT want the user to open by double-clicking?
Other than the Read Me, which we both agree needs to be double-clickable, the other files that originally didn't include extensions were the various language translation files. While they are text files, they are always ASCII text which is converted to ANSI when opened on Windows or Unix platforms, and the documentation says they should not be edited with a text editor in those environments. Am I better off removing the ".txt" extension from those files?
