Windows identifies files by the three caharacter extension after the
period. If the files were named without them, windows won't have a clue
what to do with them. What windows are you running?

Another "doh" moment in professional audio...
Thanks very much... One mystery though: how come I haven't run into
this before when doing drag-and-drop copies of audio files out of
protools on a Mac? I've successfully taken several sessions worth of
files from another studio back home this way -- drag 'em from the Mac
onto an external hard drive, lug it home, plug into the PC and go...
What did my friend do "wrong" (different) this time?
-- appreciate the enlightenment -- some of us missed a semester in
computer kindergarten and are still filling in the blanks...
