Windows 10 How To Always Show File Extensions In File Explorer
okay so
what's going on everyone I have another post here to share with all of you in
Windows 10 on how to always show file extensions in File Explorer so for some
reason Microsoft 's always hiding file extensions in Windows
so I want
to show you. how to show your file extensions so you don't potentially click on
something like a virus that's harmful to your computer. and what I mean is if I
go over here say you go like your downloads folder. you double click on that you can see there's some
files in here but I really don't know. what those files are I don't know if they're
JPEGs mpegs mp4 is whatever text files so in order to be to get that file extension
on the end here this is actually hidden it actually clicked to be hidden. so
what you got to do is click on over here where it says view click on that tab
come over here to the right and click on options.
I'm just going to move this box out of the
road here. so you can see so once you're in the folder options box here and the
Centre click. the tab that says view then you can come down here under advanced
settings a little bit and you'll see where it says like hide empty drives and
you can see all this stuff is checkmark. but we don't want that checkmark
here's the one that says hide extensions for known file types.
so I
don't know if this is a potentially harmful file. so I'm going to go ahead and
uncheck that and click apply now. you can see it says dot mp4 this one says dot
txt for txt and dot jpg for dot jpg.
if I go
and click that again and click apply you can see that disappears so my
suggestion to you guys and a little tip and basically this is just the tip. if
you want to do this or whatever uncheck
mark that click apply and you know have it to where
it can always show what files you're clicking on and things like that so
basically you know there's another way to get in there to guys you can always
go down to the lower left hand corner and right-click and open up File Explorer
like that. then you can go to the View tab and of course go to options and get
in folder options from there as well so there's another way to access it.
so I hope
this helps some of you guys out if you like this post click the thumbs up
button and share it.
