That's odd - Wordpad doesn't normally use .txt for an extension (at least, mine doesn't - it likes to use .doc), Notepad does. In Notepad, though, enclosing the filename in quotes, with the desired extension, overrides the default .txt extension. It might work in Wordpad, too.

As to changing the default file type, I suspect that the options presented in the file save menu are hidden in the Registry somewhere - you'll have to hunt them down the hard way and add a key yourself. I'd look in HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/... for Wordpad, and see what's hidden there.

Hmmmm, try this:

Hold down the shift key and right click on an already created SQL file.

Click on Open With...

When the Open With dialog box comes up, select Wordpad, and make sure the box that says "Always use this program to open this type of file" is checked, then click ok.
