Since there's no period, it technically doesn't have an extension. Windows reads backwards and whatever is after the last period is the extension.

Just rename the file, with extension.

(all this assuming you have extensions visible in Windows. If not, turn it on).

So try adding .png or .jpg or .gif and see if it is then recognised.

If it doesn't open in Photoshop, try opening it in IrfanView and resave it.
