Vista Resista Me Again

I want and need to see the file name extensions,
How do I make Windows Explorer show them?

Program.exe shows as Program
I want to see the .exe

It is my PC so let me do what I want to do!

To view file extensions, do this:

- Open any Windows Explorer window
- Click on "Organize", then "Folder and Search Options"
- Click the "View" tab
- Remove the check from the setting for "Hide extensions for known
file types" in the "Advanced Settings" list.
- Click OKAll files, including EXEs, will now be listed with their extensions
shown.

You've already been told how to do this, but I'll just add a couple of
comments.

1. This works exactly the same way it did in Windows XP. The default
is to hide extensions for known file types, but it's very easy to
change it to show them.

2. I think the default is a terrible one, and I think extensions
should *always* be shown. I feel so strongly about this that I think
there shouldn't even be an option to hide them. Hiding them often gets
people into trouble, because they don't understand what file it is
they are deleting, opening, or whatever.

Research shows that file extensions confuse computer users .. duh .. vapour
... you should already be blitheringly unaware of this.

Look, if you don't like Vista, use something else. Stop cluttering this group
with your inane rants.
