Showing File Extensions

 

 

For some reason Microsoft in its infinite wisdom decided we dont need to see

what kind of files we are working with and has the extensions hidden by default

this can cause many problems with many things especially if you intend to stream

your finished world.

ok lets get them turned on

 

first open any folder window .."my documents" will do fine as its on your desktop in most cases

this is just so you can get to the menu bar.

click "Tools" then select "Folder Options"

when you have the "Folder Options" box open un-check/tick the

"Hide Extensions for Known Filetypes" box

and click "OK"

ok thats done..now any files you have will show their extensions e.g

.jpg .mp3 .exe etc etc
