Filename extensions

Q: In the program folder, I see several files with the same name (e.g., rtgbills). How can I tell them apart?

A: You can tell Windows to show the file extension, which consists of a few characters after the period in the filename.

In Windows 11, open File Explorer. From the menu in that window, choose:

View > Show > File name extensions

In Windows 10, open File Explorer. From the menu in that window, click View. In the Show/hide section, check the box for File name extensions.

Now you should be able to distinguish, for example, the RTG Bills program (rtgbills.exe) from the RTG Bills database (rtgbills.mdb) and the RTG Bills settings (rtgbills.ini).
