The executable file then locates other program files associated to the application and loads the relevant data required to provide the user with access to the integrated set of functionalities implemented into the AOL application.

A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .aol. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it.
