Best Answer

1. Click the Start menu, then My Computer

2. Click the Tools menu, then Folder Options

3. Click the View tab

4. About 7 check-boxes down the list, you'll see an option to "Hide extensions for known file types". If this box is checked, Windows will not display the extensions for most files. If you would like to see the extension of every file, UNcheck this box.

5. Hit OK.

Hope that's what you were looking for.
