Make sure your computer isn't set to hide file extensions. It's probably named something like myfile.scr.exe.

Indeed. You may as well do this if you can't be bothered to change your options:

1. Click start.
2. Go Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt

(Say your file was in c:\blah.exe and you wanted it to be c:\windows\system32\blah.scr):
Type in this, and then hit [Enter]:

move C:\blah.exe C:\windows\system32\blah.scr

Command prompt never hides file extensions.
