Scratch

Have you ever tried changing file extensions. It can create hours of fun (especially, if you're immature like me)!

To do this, you're going to have to disable something. Please bear in mind, that this can only be done in a Windows computer. So Mac users have no point in being here. 

Here's how to enable it!
1. Go to Control Panel.
2. Click "Folder options".
3. Go to "view".
4. Uncheck "hide file extensions for known file types".
5. Click "apply" or "OK'.

Once you've enabled it, go to Windows explorer and check it out.

Let's use a Scratch project as an example.

Before you did the procedure the project's file name in Windows Explorer, was "LaLaLa".

Now, it's "LaLaLa.sb"

Now for the editing!
To do the file extension changing, replace the "sb" with whatever you want (let's say "mommy"). Then instead of "Scratch Project" under the file, it will say "MOMMY File".

If you want to do even more, choose which program MOMMY files will open in, but please bear in mind it will not work. 

Also, this can't be used to convert files (let's say ".avi" to ".mpg"). It doesn't change what type the file is, just what the computer recognizes it as.

Here's how I played the trick on my Scratch Projects.

Have fun playing with file extensions!

EDIT: If you want to change the file back to normal, just replace the file extension with what it was originally.

EDIT: It turns out you CAN do this on a Mac. Click here for instructions.
