File extension indicates the location of the file format. Computer users apply it as a direction as to which application software to open to display the format. With the file extensions, windows uses a file association list to help users open their files without first starting the application. Also the application software can prevent you from going through all the files to look for the correct file. Even though using a file extension is a best way to locate your file, but the extension could be changed. The format of the file usually includes a header, data, and sometimes an end-of-file marker. The header allows the computers to predict the file format. Every software program consists of an .exe file extension. When you open a file to edit from a software application, you are working on a temporarily copy of the file, and the original copy has still been saved by the system.
