Windows allows you to make an appearance of two extensions. A period is an
acceptable character in a file name. Actually, only the one after the last
period is the effective extension.  I often back up AUTOEXEC.BAT and
CONFIG.SYS files by adding some extension so it comes out looking like
AUTOEXEC.BAT.BAK.
