Do you mean something like this?

info.txt.exe

That's not really "double extension". The extension is .exe, but Windows 
(by default) makes it look like .txt but that is not an extension (which 
explains why its not hidden too). Click on the file and Windows knows the 
extension is .exe.

BTW, I always turn that lying option off.
