Alexandre 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 ?
