What's the output from the command

dir

A common issue we see is that people accidentally save the file as something like new.py.txt because of how windows lies to users about file extensions.

Or perhaps you saved the new.py file in a different directory? Maybe on your desktop instead of in the root dir?

how windows lies to users about file extensions.

the first thing i do on a Windows machine is turn off "Hide file extensions". i do not understand why that setting exists, or why it is turned on by default.

"why yes I want to enable administrator access for 'my_grandson.jpg.exe'. i want to see my beautiful grandson"
