Go to My Computer, click Tools, select Folder Options, click on the View tab, at the Advanced setting rollout, choose it and uncheck the 'Hide extension for known file types' box.

But remember that renaming a file won't change its internal format. Just cause it's called .wav doesnt mean it really IS a wav file. :P

Well then this isn't going to help. You need a sound editing program to open the mp3 file and then save it in wav format.
