Do you mean when you open the file and save it in the 'Save as'??? Just surround the name in speech marks "My_Scripts.php"
or did you mean the 'right-click and rename' things?
And you didn't even thank me!
SOME PEOPLE!
go: View/Edit > folder Option (or something similar) uncheck the box that says: "hide file extensions"
The path changes between differen O/S's but the option 'Folder Options' will be easy to find.

I just tried that, but now, the .php extension makes the computer think it is a paper project for MS Home Publishing 2000. How do I fix this without messing up Home Publishing?
I know how to change extensions, but not without messing up programs which use those extensions
AlexJ, do you know php? writing a forum isn't exacitally a 5min job, they need MySql too.
does anyone have the php script for a forum then to help me
They either need MySql and php or a Cgi-Bin.
go to http://www.netfirms.com or http://www.freeola.co.uk for a Cgi-Bin both are free, then download the YaBB forums from http://www.yabbforum.com
they're hard to install but it's all free, what else do you want.
