Directions:

1) When in notepad, and you want to save, go to Save As
2) Find the field that says "Save as type", change it to "All files (*.*)"
3) Type in filename.php (or any extension you want) and click save


the big thing you probably missed was the "all files"... it tells notepad its something other than a .txt file

In most programs you can quote what filename you want and you don't need to choose "All files" just do "index.php" :D

Nah, notepad is really buggy when it comes to this. If you find it has named your file index.php.txt just go into windows explorer and rename the file.
