File Extensions (Tools/Options)
The File Extensions tab of the IDE Options dialog provides access to the various IDE Studio Extensions definitions. The IDE uses the extension definitions to understand how to work with various file types. By knowing that a file with a "PLF" extension is a form file, the IDE understands it should be edited using the Form Designer.
The IDE File Extensions tab shows the currenly defined defined extensions. A default list of extension is defined when the IDE is installed.
