Use Windoze Explorer to show you the true file type. You apparently have that turned off.

In the folder where you've stored the file:
1. Click on TOOLS below the title bar
2. Click FOLDER OPTIONS from the pull-down menu
3. Select the VIEW tab, and
4. Uncheck the box by HIDE FILE EXTENSIONS FOR KNOWN FILE TYPES
5. Then click OK at the bottom of the box.

After you've exposed your real file types, you'll have your answer. Some of your files will resist conversion without a secondary trans-coding program, but they're out there...

Cheers...

Thanx

Actually, that works in Windoze NT, 2000 and XP; I don't know about 98, Me or other OS platforms... Which are you using?
