In reply to Jeremy Martin. You should be able to. Have you turned on the "file name extensions" in "View"?

why can i not see my .shp, .shx files in windows explore? i can see the .cpg, the .prj, .sbn, .sbx but i am trying to copy these boundary so i can put into Raven CR7 and need the .shp and .shx for it to be able to read.

In reply to Bob Elander.

You can open shapefiles in QGIS (open source) and ArcGIS (proprietary) and many more. https://gisgeography.com/mapping-out-gis-software-landscape/

I would like to know whether the .prj file timestamp will ever be different than the .shp file?
I have a set of shape files (.prj, .shp, .dbf, .shx), all have exactly the same timestamp however the .prj file has a timestamp that is 15min earlier. Does this mean that the .shp file was not created using the .prj file
