wilsonmar Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 (edited) This is such a common issue with Windows that I don't know why I can't find it. I don't like Windows hiding extensions of files. It's confusing. So what I do now is manually go into Windows Explorer, click on Tools > Folder Options... > Views > Uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types", which is set to "On" by default. Is there an AutoIt script sample that unchecks this default? Edited June 8, 2009 by wilsonmar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
