Or just open up explorer, go to view-options (or similar) and find the
option
"hide extensions of known file types", make sure it's unchecked, and when
making
a new file, right-click on the directory, go to new-textfile and name it.
That way you will
see if programs are messing up your names, and notepad won't mess them up
when
you re-save.

Or, just add ""s around the name of the file when saving in Notepad. :-)
