How to hide/unhide a
file extension
What is a
file extension? A file extension is the alphabets written after the filename.
For example in a file named “Tariq.txt” the file extension is “.txt”. Your
computer identifies the files by their file extensions.
At times
we need to change the extension of a file. By default file extensions are
hidden. You can unhide the file extension and then only you will be able to
change the file extension. Follow the steps below:-
Step1:-
In a Folder, click on "Organize" from top left and select
"Folder and Search Option"
Step2:- Click on "View" Tab. Uncheck "Hide
extensions from known file types" and Save.
Step 3:- Click Apply and OK. Now you will be able to see the extensions.
