Well friends, by default windows explorer hides certain parts of a file's name. The default setting of Windows is not to show file extensions. In a windows operating system you may need to show file names with extensions to easily identify the types of files and to quickly rename an extension, when needed. Please follow the tutorial to force windows to show extensions of files.
Windows
In Windows operating environment, file types are determined and identified by the file extensions. For example, a file named "sample.txt" will appear in Explorer as "sample". This behaviour is hazardous, and can potentially cause you to double-click on file like "virus.jpg", thinking that it is just a picture, while it would actually be a program "virus.jpg.exe". You would never have clicked the file, had you really known the file-name. These file extensions make things easy for any user to identify the file type without executing them or clicking them open. It also helps in other debugging stuff for advanced and savvy users. If you ever need to exhibit, here is how you can force Windows to show file extensions next to the file names.

Windows can be easily altered so that files extensions are always showing. Kindly follow the steps given below to alter the files. 
  • Open Windows Explorer. Click the "Tools" menu on the menu bar in Explorer. Click the "Folder Options" item in the popup menu that appears.
Windows Explorer
