MPLAB says "xxxxx.hex file cannot be read, extension no

hi all
Recently my MPLAB IDE v6.60 will not load any *.hex files.

"the format of the file xxxx.hex cannot be read or written because its extension is not recognized>

I can load *.cof files and program them just fine.

Can anyone steer me to where I have done something wrong?

THanks!

Cool
