I did your test: create a file named z.txt, rename it to z.txt.pif and
it shows z.txt. More when I click on it I get the message: "z.txt.pif is
not a valid win32 application".

I use win2000 and the Files Options "Hide the known extension files" is
not selected !!!!!

I'm stunned :-o

What else could be wrong ?
