By default, file extensions for known file types are hidden in Windows XP. However, you can change this setting so that file extensions are shown for files in a certain folder or for all files on your hard disk.
To show file extensions, first open any folder on your hard drive, such as "My Computer" or "My Documents." Then select "Folder Options..." from the Tools menu as shown below.
My Windows Explorer does not - 545a526.gif When the Folder Options window opens, click the View tab. This will show the file and folder view settings.
95b32b0.gif One of the options under Advanced settings is "Hide extensions for known file types." If this option is checked, uncheck the checkbox and click Apply or OK. This setting is system wide, so unchecking this box will make file extensions appear in all folders.
If you decide to hide file extensions at a later time, you can check the box again and click OK to revert back to the previous settings.

I have lost all my icons and my start up bar on my Acer Aspire One and can't get them back.
On another clean and working system, go to C \Windows, and copy out explorer.exe. On your own system, go to C\Windows, from the tools option, Folder Options/ View/ Show hidden files and Folders, select the "show hidden files" option. Delete explorer.exe and any file starting with explorer. Paste the explorer.exe you copied from a working system in your C/Windows. Resart your system. I hope this solved your problem? Please let me know.
