When you create a Briefcase folder and you use a name that includes an extension, the folder name may be displayed without the extension.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, create a briefcase folder using a name that does not contain an extension or contains two or more extensions. To do this, follow these steps:
- Right-click a blank area on the desktop, point to New, and then click Briefcase.
- Type the name you want for your briefcase folder, but do not type an extension or type two extensions, as in the following example:
NOTE: The Test.1.1 briefcase folder is displayed as the Test.1 folder on the desktop. The folder properties contain the full name.
- Press ENTER after you type the folder name.
MORE INFORMATION
The MS-DOS name for the Briefcase folder is displayed using the complete folder name. The MS-DOS folder name is displayed in the 8.3 file name format.
If you want to remove the initial extension, right-click the briefcase folder, click Properties, delete the extension, and then click OK.
