See more file information in Explorer
By default in Explorer, certain file types are hidden and associated files have their extensions turned off. This is fine if you can identify all of your files by their icon alone. But you may want to see the whole picture in Explorer, here's how.

Windows 95 allows you to view all files, with and without their extensions. With any Explorer window open, choose Options in the View menu. Click the View tab and you'll see choices for "Show all files" and "Hide MS-DOS file extensions for file types that are registered". There's even choices to "Display the full MS-DOS path in the title bar" and "Include description bar for right and left panes" Just check (or uncheck) your choices and click "Apply" or "OK".
