how do i make a file with no extensions?

[razorak]

Hello there, i am currently trying to pick up coding from the one provided at psp-programming.com but i got stuck here...


And that's it for the program! Now we just have to tell the compiler how we want this project compiled by creating a Makefile. So create a new file called "Makefile" with no extention (ie, no .txt). Once you've done this, open it up in your text editor.


but i have absolutely no idea on how to make a file with no exensions. Any1 care to enlighten me? :confused:

say you had a file named blah.txt, take away he .txt on it and I think thats all you have to do!

[razorak]

errr...exactly how?

[The EX]

rename it from blah.txt to blah with right clicking on it.

[razorak]

nope...my makefile is still a txt...lol guess it doesn't work with windows 2000 huh?

lemme try attach a pic...

[The EX]

[razorak]

From notepad select save as then press all files and save it as "Makefile."

[razorak]

i tried that too....got the same result as the one in the pic...it's still detected as a text document.

Thanks anyway...guess my comp must be a little wonky..lol
