View File Extensions In Windows 7

By default, Windows 7 hides your file extensions. If, like me, you get a little twitchy if you can’t see this information, then you’ll want to change your setup pretty quickly. To view files extensions in Windows 7, do the following:

  • Click Start
  • Click Control Panel
  • Click Appearance and Personalization
  • Click Folder Options
  • Select the View tab
  • Uncheck the Hide extensions for known file types
  • While you’re at it, for good measure, why not select Show hidden files, folders and drives?
  • Click Apply and OK, and your changes should be seen immediately.
