hiding extensions by default
In message , Paul
writes: [] Microsoft really shouldn't hide the extensions by default. Paul And we've been saying this since at least '9x. Has there been any indication of them changing this default - maybe in Windows 10.xxx? (I know they've said 10 is the "last" Windows; in practice, therefore, future versions will be 10.9.9.9....) The original _reason_ for hiding extensions (even having the _option_ to do so) - presumably to avoid confusing the poor dumb users - was mostly superseded when malware started to use double extensions, and isn't really valid since they introduced the change in (I think) 7 whereby "rename" defaults to no longer highlighting the extension. -- J.
