Hi Wayne,

I think your Windows Explorer is set so that it doesn't show known filetypes.
The file you want only shows up as "swap". You can click that one, or ...

If you want to change your settings so you can see the .bat part, do this:

1. open Windows Explorer
2. choose the View menu item, en then Folder Options item
3. in the dialog box that comes up, change to the View tab
4. click on the little box in front of the line that says:
   "Hide file extensions for known file types"
5. click on Ok

Hope this helps,
Paul
