can't save .php files on new version of wamp

I've recently downloaded wamp and it seems to be working fine.

But when I try to save a text document as .php, it doesn't work. It only saves it as .php.txt. But it does work if I save it as .html

How do I get it to allow to save files as .php?

EDIT: I'm using windows Vista

OK, this time it actually saved as .php, thanks. But when I tried to open it my browser it didn't work.

For wamp, is my localhost folder: wamp/bin/apache/apache2.2.8/htdocs?

I typed http ://localhost/filename.php (I added the space in this post only so it didn't think it was a file)
what did I do wrong?

This is what I put in the file

<html>
<head>
<title>My First PHP Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
echo "Hello World!";
?>
</body>
</html>

You can also put double quotes around the file name. Notepad doesn't remember what file type you select (since there's only two, 'Text' and 'All', it always goes back to 'Text'), this makes things a little easier. Stevenmartin99 is right though, Notepad++ (which I've literally replaced Notepad with, Notepad no more) is a great text editor.
