Click tools and folder options. Then click view and uncheck the 'hide extensions for known file types' box.

No. In windows explorer there is a menu bar at the top of each window. Open My computer and there is a menu bar at the top. Click Tools on the bar there.

Oh. I'm still on Vista. I don't know how you do it in 7.

Actually I think you can press alt to show the menu bar temporarily.

OK. On the menu there should see 'tools' click that and then click folder options. When that window appears click view at the top and then look for 'hide extensions for known file types'.

You could just use Paint.NET which can open and edit .dds files.

What program are you going to use to edit the file?
