Incorrect file associations could be the result of underlying issues within your PC system. The FILE file type is primarily associated with 'File With No Extension'. If you are seeing the file type FILE this is not a file extension but an indicator in Windows Explorer that the file has not file extension. 

If you are accessing an AS400 from your PC the files in the AS400 library also show up as .file.
