For example, on the View tab you can specify whether Windows Explorer and all Windows programs should display file name extensions, which are hidden by default . Every file name has an extension, separated from the name itself by a period, that designates the files type or the program in which it was created . If you often need to know the type of a file, it might be easier to turn on the display of file name extensions so that they are visible in all views than to have to constantly switch to Details, Tiles, or Content view to see the file type .
