To display the file extension go to Folder Options and click the View tab.
Then uncheck the option Hide extensions for known file types.
i have a problem, when you try to see the filetype of a file, it doesnt give a specific type.
for example: a .txt file only shows as a "text document" same as a .dll file is an "application extencion"
how do i fix this?
