Here's a tip if you di use it: Enclose the filename in the save dialog in""... When you save a file as "test.ly" with the quotes included, it will be saved as test.ly on disk. When you just type test.ly in the save dialog, Windows will save it as test.ly.txt, rendering the binding of Lilypond to .ly files not working.
Or change "file type" (I don't use notepad - I guess it has it) to "all files".
But that's why it's adding ".txt" - it's assuming you're editing a text file, you haven't told it otherwise, so it "helpfully" adds the "correct" extension :-(
