    what did I do?


    In my document folder, just recently all my files now show the extensions.
    ie rules.doc
    ie friends.pdf
    etc, etc

    What did I do? And how do I get it back to showing the files minus their extensions?
    Thanks in advance

    Hello Skostro,

    Uncheck the Hide extensions for known file types box in Folder Options should take care of that for you. :)

    You inadvertently chose to show file extensions for known file types.

    goto
    Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\folder options under view take the check mark out of hide extensions of known file types. that should do it.
