SUMMARY
To save a Python program in Notepad without the .txt extension, users must select the "All Files" option in the save dialog box. This allows them to specify the desired filename with the .py extension directly. A user confirmed that after initially failing, they successfully saved their file as "myprogram.py" by using this method. This straightforward approach resolves the issue of unwanted file extensions when saving code in Notepad.
