Okay, so how do I rename a .wav file to .ac3 after VD?

I've saved my audio in VD on an ac3 download (i.e., blah.ac3) and am using windows xp. Where in the world do I go to SEE the full file name with the .wav extension so that I can delete it? I need to convert the file back to a wave file, but I need it to show the .ac3 extension first. I've been reading about this (converting .ac3 back to .wav) for 2 days, but I'll be damned if I can see anywhere in xp (windows explorer) where the extension is actually shown. Sometimes I really miss my winfile in the old windows programs! I'm sure this is something simple, but this old lady's missing it. Thanks for your help. p.s. these xvid files with ac3 are gonna kill me

Open any folder. Go to, Tools/Folder Options/View and uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types."

I absolutely LOVE you!!! Thank you so much for that simple information. I'd be killing myself trying to figure it out. Youre the best!
