       Hidden extensions display in windows 7

       Hidden extensions display in windows 7
       Explorer's default settings in Windows 7 hide file extensions,
       as well as system files and folders.
       To fix this, launch Explorer and click Tools > Folder Options >
       View.
       Clear the "Hide extensions for known file types" to show file
       extensions, reducing the likelihood that you'll accidentally
       double-click on virus.txt.exe in future.
       And as long as there are no novice users on your system who
       might go poking around in Explorer, we'd also choose to "Show
       hidden files and folders" as well as clear the "Hide protected
       operating system files" box. It's often important to see these
       files when you're troubleshooting, or following problem-solving
       instructions from someone else.
