Detailed explanation-1: -Windows file names have two parts; the file’s name, then a period followed by the extension (suffix). The extension is a three-or four-letter abbreviation that signifies the file type. For example, in letter. docx the filename is letter and the extension is docx.
Detailed explanation-2: -This is because many programs and file formats limit the extension to three characters. Moreover, not all operating systems supported extensions that were longer than three letters. MS-DOS, Windows 3. X, Windows 95, 98, and NT, did not support extensions longer than three characters.
Detailed explanation-3: -Extensions tell your computer which application created or can open the file and which icon to use for the file. For example, the docx extension tells your computer that Microsoft Word can open the file and to display a Word icon when you view it in File Explorer.
Detailed explanation-4: -The three letter extension is one way Windows at times (but not always) keeps track of what a file is supposed to be. For example, files containing ordinary text usually have a three letter extension of . txt and Microsoft PowerPoint presentations usually have a three letter extension of . ppt.
