Extensions for Known Files Types

[Stoshy]

Hey MPGH ppl!

In this tutorial, im going to show u how reveal file extensions.

Whut are file extensions u say?

Ex. .exe .gsc .cfg .zip .rar

With this, u will b able to alter file types to change it whut u want it to b like to change a regular notepad into a gsc mod type file.

This can b done with on OS.

Ok first click on the start button or start orb and open the shortcut Computer or My Computer.

At the top, there shud b 5 tabs (or thats whut i have) File, Edit, View, Tools, Help

For this, we will need to go into the tools tab. a drop down screen shud show up. click on folder options and a new window shud pop up.

Find the view tab and there shud b a list of check boxes.

Find and UNCHECK the box that says 'Hide extensions for known file types'

click apply and ok yer done!

now when u go into a folder and u c the files, u will c the extensions for the fule type.

extensions always have a meaning. like .exe is for executable. things to launch mw2 or yer web browser. .cfg is config. like the iw4mp.cfg and MODS!

REMEMBER TO THANK/REP ME IF I HELPED U

If you do not have the File, Edit, View, Tools, Help options, press Alt and they should magically appear /

An alternative method is going into Control Panel and then go into Classic View or Large icons view and clicking on Folder Options.

I did indeed know this. Although, I always spontaneously forget it. I usually use master's method.
