I have never had that problem, but I have seen alot of people ask the same question. I got this off a message board using a Google shearch "shn and bak files":
"that may be because you already have a file of that name in the directory you're 'extracting' the files in. the mkw program will create a back-up of the file and rename it as wav.bak.
simply try to remove the .bak tag and rename it as a .wav file. it should work."
I hope that helps...let me know. If not, I will dig a little deeper.
peace
