I believ that it must be a bat, com, or exe file.  The most logical being
exe.  This will be automatically created when You File/make "exe" in VB.
However, if you must change the extension, then you may be able to toy
around with your settings in explorer, by clicking "View/Folder Options/File
Types" and finageling in there by entering a new file type and it's
properties to run.
