Yes, I know *that* setting! What I want is the "Tools", "Folder Options", "File Types" tab of Explorer to show me *ALL* extensions, including, as mentioned .BAT and .EXE etc. Robert

At this point, I don't know how (if you can) show some of the more security sensitive file extensions there. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Re: Explorer "Tools" "Folder Options" "Tile Types" not showing all extensions prino <robert.ah.prins[ at ]gmail.com> 10/3/2008 8:28:59 AM I found a 'batfile' key, saved its "EditFlags" (were 0x00000430) and set them to 0x00000000.

RE: Explorer "Tools" "Folder Options" "Tile Types" not showing all ext Rey Santos 10/3/2008 1:02:01 PM Maybe you mean to show exrensions of known file types. Its in Tools > Folder options > View tab, uncheck "Hide extensions of known file types". If this is checked .bat, .exe, etc won't show in explorer. -- Rey "robert.ah.prins[ at ]gmail.com" wrote: [Quoted Text] > How do I get this tab to show *ALL* extensions, including extensions > like .BAT, .EXE etc, which do not show up now... > > Thanks, > > Robert >

Re: Explorer "Tools" "Folder Options" "Tile Types" not showing all extensions [SOLVED] prino <robert.ah.prins[ at ]gmail.com> 10/3/2008 9:28:30 PM The solution is patently obvious, NOT! Select 'New', enter the required non-showing extension, e.g. BAT and click on 'Advanced' and then 'OK', et voila, it appears!
