Show file extensions in XP

[huxley]

Like the topic - how do I show file extensions (.avi .wmv etc)?
cheers

Go: Start>Control Panel>Folder Options. Then click the 'view' tab and scroll down the list and uncheck "hide extensions for known file types"

(if you have the control panel in 'category view' you go to performance and maitenance where folder options in the "see also" box at the side)
