When you find a GameSpot file you’d like to download, simply click its name. Your Web browser will present a dialog box with the file name, giving you the opportunity to rename the file if you like. If you choose to do so, be sure to use an easily identifiable word or phrase that will help you find the file at a later date. If you’re using Windows 95, for instance, and you’re downloading the Absolute Zero demo, it’s better to name the file "Absolute Zero demo.zip" rather than "absodem.zip".
(Unless, of course, you’re some kind of DOS-loving weirdo.) Whatever you name the file, be sure to always leave the original file’s extension intact, be it .zip, .exe, or .wav. If you’re still using Windows 3.x, you’re stuck with that platform’s cryptic eight-dot-three file naming scheme. Bottom line: You’re stuck with the file’s confusing name like "absodem.zip" or whatever. It’s a good idea to write down the file’s name - and what it stands for - so that you’ll never lose track of a download stuck with a name like "09ext&.zip".
