Another Windows 8 annoyance

August 29th, 2012 by admin Leave a reply »

If you are a power user like me you do a lot of work with files on your system and here recently in my windows 8 adventures I have noticed a little feature that is turned on by default that I really didn’t appreciate. It cost me a little time today and had me scratching my head and that is that file extensions are hidden by default. For anybody out there wondering where you can show them again, just simply open up file explorer and in the view ribbon you can check the box for “File Name Extensions”, that will show them again and not have you beating your head against the wall wondering why your files are not the types you thought they were :).
