I have renamed it, but it still says that its a text document.  Here is a look at what I'm trying to extract:

Could it be that the option "Hide extensions for known File types" in Explorer->Tools->Folder options is still checked?

[Jeff Vader]

You're hiding known file extensions. Because of that feature, Windows is hiding the .rar extension and you can't change it. The 7-Zip options like "Add to "TBP_DVD_v1.0.rar.txt.zip""

- Select Tools -> Folder settings (or something like it; I'm translating from Finnish)
- Open the middle tab ("Show", or "View" or something like that)
- Scroll down and find the "Hide known file extensions" part or something like that
- Untick that feature and click OK.

I need more detailed instructions please. Which tools application for instance? If you can show me a jpeg, please do.  How is the weather there in Finland?

This "Tools" Menu:

I've tried that and got these options...I don't see anything that says 'Folder' Please walk me through it.  Step by Step. I appreciate your help.

NOT the Internet Explorer. I meant the standard Explorer, the one you use to open folders with. For the record, I just altered your screenshot of the folder containing the mysterious not-a-text-file.

I'm sorry  I don't understand...do you mean this one?  If not I dont no where to go.

Okay. Look at the folder in question. Go to the 'tools' menu. Go to 'folder settings'. Go to the middle tab, untick 'hide known file extensions'.

DO NOT USE INTERNET EXPLORER. Just open the folder up with Windows.

[The E]

Open the Folder with the Babylon Project file. Underneath the titlebar, you will find the so-called menu strip. In this menu strip, you will find the entry "Tools". Click on it. In the menu that will now appear miraculously, locate the item named "Folder Options" or "Folder settings". Click on that. A menu will open, somewhat similar to the one in the attached screenshot. Locate the entry named "Hide extensions for known File types". Uncheck that option. Now, close that window (By clicking "OK"), and remove the .txt extension from the file.

(At least, this is the Vista way of doing it. XP may differ)

I got it!! This is so I can see the .rar.txt extension. Now when I go to rename it, with just .rar on the end, its says that this file may become unusable? 

[General Battuta]

It won't.

[The E]

Ignore that. Click OK. Then try again with 7zip

Windows is littered with these "If you don't know what you're doing, please stop or something evil might happen" sort of warnings. Nothing evil will happen in this case. The .rar extension will just make it possible for 7-Zip to open the archive, since that's what the file is. A .rar archive.
