Something's not adding up here!

If you are talking about "View Source," it sounds an awful lot like
you're talking about .htm or .html files. To make sure, enable the
viewing of file extensions:

My Computer | Tools | Folder Options | View
Uncheck the box next to "Hide extensions for known file types."
Click OK.

So are these files .txt files or are they something else?
