windows explorer doesn't like to name things with just an extension, but as nt said, you can trick the "save as" box into doing it with using ""'s
I don't know about Notepad -- I only use
EditPad, and that lets me create .htaccess files with no problem to my XP desktop.
Amendment: I use EditPad 3.5.3 --
before it got all BLOATED. If you can find that (free) version, you will NEVER use Notepad again! (PM me with your email for a copy
)
