Explorer keeps hiding the last part of file extension

[AlexandrePRBR]

Already followed all the steps showed in this topic, including this Diagnose and repair Windows File and Folder Problems automatically, and my Windows still doesn't shows all file type extensions.

I have some folders like named like this c:\folder\version\0.8.4 but Explorer keeps hiding the last part, after the last dot.

Thanks in advance and sorry about my poor english.

There is a setting that hides known file extensions, is there a pattern to what is missing or is it random

Can you give a few examples
What is missing of the path you typed above

 

[Gary]

c:\folder\version\0.8

So you are saying the above is what you see?

 

[AlexandrePRBR]

For example:

These are the properties of the folders "nome":

At the first image you can see a .PDF file. I really don't understand why folders are not showing extensions. Already checked all options as suggested on the old topic.

c:\folder\version\0.8

So you are saying the above is what you see?

Yes. A folder named as C:\folder\version\0.8.4 shows as you say.

It says that the third file is a .PDF the first two are empty files.

 

[AlexandrePRBR]

Those folders are:

"E:\Nova pasta\nome.12" and "E:\Nova pasta\nome.abc"

You have them in your root directory E: and they show as 0 Byte files. My PDF files are in H:\My Documents\PDF File XXXX

Workaround

I know this isn't a fix for your problem, but as a temporary workaround, why not substitute a different character for the dot in folder names?

For example, replace "." with "_" or "-".

You could also put brackets around numbers.
For example, c:\folder\version\(0.8.4) or change the path to c:\folder\version(0.8.4).

Maybe I'm not clear. Sorry, english is not my native language.

If i have any word document in a folder, i see the file with the extension .doc because I have unchecked the "hide extentions for know file types" option.

My problem is:

If I create a folder using any extension in name, that extension is not showed.

A folder "C:\test.123" will be showed as "C:\test".
A folder "C:\test.123.a" will be showed as "C:\test.123".

Go to your folder options and just reset everything to default like the highlight shows in the image:

I do not have that unchecked. Maybe that is your problem?

I haven't tried the Reset Folders before, but I did with the Restore defaults.

Reset Folders worked. Solved.

Thanks.
