I haven't used Windows on a regular basis for about 8 years, but when
I did use it there was an option to hide file suffixes. My guess is
this option still exists and you have this option turned on. Try this

 (rename-file-or-directory "numbers.txt.txt" "numbers.txt")

and see what happens. If Explorer (or whatever the Windows file system
viewer is called these days) shows the file as just numbers then we've
found the problem.
