Say I have a program called program.exe, and I want to run it from the command line. Assume further that I'm at the command prompt, and in the same directory as the program.exe
For some reason, I cannot run the program by typing:
program
Rather, I have to type in:
program.exe
Then the program will run.
I'm not sure what I did that caused it to behave this way. Even the simple ping utility also requires me to type ping.exe.
Strangely, I tried typing "copy" and it still recognizes it. Or is that not an executable?
