All files in Windows and Mac OS X have filename extensions tacked on to the end of the filename. For example, a Microsoft Word document might be called "document1.doc" and a text file may be called "readme.txt." While these extensions are often hidden, they are useful to know. The list of filename extensions explains what the file extension means and what program or programs can open the file.
