I typed the source code in WordPad and saved it as addition.f90, but, unfortunately, the only options Windows provides are text files, rtf's, and so forth.
I am using the G95 compiler for Windows.

I suggest you use a decent text editor instead. Have a look at notepad++, VIM, GNU Emacs or similar.
To rename a file in Windows you either use the command prompt:
rename file.f90.rtf file.f90
Or you can use the Windows explorer. Make sure you set it up to display file extensions. Under Tools | Folder Options, unselect 'Hide extensions for known file types'. To rename a file, either select it and press F2, or right-click and select Rename.

The command prompt method works (+1), but it is impossible in Windows Explorer.

Perhaps the folder options dialog is different under Vista. I suggest you google it: http://www.google.com/search?q=vista+folder+options

@codeape, thanks, I am now using notepad++. You were right: changing the file extension in Windows Explorer does work. What I did wrong was clicking No on the pop-up warning, when it asked me if I was sure that I wanted to change the extension, since the file could become unusable in such a case.

A:
In the WordPad Save dialog, type the filename in double quotes, e.g. "addition.f90". This will override the default extension.
