Password protected workbook with links disappeared

L

I recently added password and write protection to some workbooks. Now the
files have disappeared. The folders they were in show up as files now with
no file type or extension. When I open them in notepad the data is
unreadable. I had a backup of one that I copied over to a new location and
it was automatically given the xlsm extension. There are no macros in these
workbooks, but there are many hyperlinks to internet addresses. Can I
recover my files? How do I keep from losing them again?
