I have basic Windows 8.
I have a game that's a variation of Windows Freecell. If I want to load a previous game, I'm presented with a File Explorer window containing TXT files of all saved games.
However if I simply use File Explorer to browse the folder contents, I can see only the EXE file, the CHM file, and a DLL. No TXT files are visible.
(I use the same program on my other laptop that has Win XP Pro. I can see all the TXT files in Win Explorer.)
As an experiment, I copied the CHM file, and changed the extension to TXT. I can see that file in File Explorer, but not the game TXT files.
From within the game, when I want to open a TXT file, I can now also see the CHM file with the new TXT extension.
I would be grateful if someone could explain what's going on here
