| Windows 7 Professional 64bit 12 posts | Need help with file name extensions in Windows Explorer I am running Windows 7 Professional and need help with file extensions names. I hope I can explain this so you can understand! I need my files in my folders to end with an extension such as: cat.jpg dog.psp lesson1.cab All it shows now is: cat dog lesson1 If I click on "type" it does show what extension they are, but I need it to say the extension in the "Name". I sure hope this makes sense! Thank you for any help or suggestions! debbie |
