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"

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.
