When I download a file (like the new version of a browser for example) to my desktop, it saves as a .exe file
however when I run it to install it It shows as a LWP file and I get a message telling me  that it can't read it.
What to do? What if you simply rename the extension?Ok, can you give me an example?
Thankshttp://filext.com/detaillist.php?extdetail=LWPYes, omne initium est difficile, but this is not an initium. I have been doing this stuff for some years now.
Thank you for the link to the definition of the file. I have been there too.
I think I haven't been exact enough in describing my challenge, so here I go.
The problem starts when I decide to download the file and I get  the popup window asking me where and how to save it.
Good enough I get the desktop as the location, but the option of "save as TYPE" is limited to " *.lwp " or " all files "
now, choosing " all files " does not solve the problem.
I guess my questions are:
1. how do I change the " save as type " setting
2. If I right click on the downloaded icon and go to " open with " choice and then " browse " which program should I chose to run it with?
I hope this clarifies my dilemma.
