Hi, Frank, I wonder if the option, hide extensions for known file types is on, and if it is, it should be turned off. To do this, go to either my computer or windows explorer, press alt v for view, and o for options, and you should be focused on the general tab of a 3 page tab control, and if you're not, then shift tab to where it says tab control general, and once focused on that, right arrow to the view tab, and then tab down to the tree-view, and hit the letter h until you hear, hide extensions for known file types, and if it is on, press the space bar to turn it off, then shift tab back to the button that should say, view all folders like the current folder, and press the space bar, tab to okay, how many times it takes to get out of that dialog, and you should be able to see your file names with extensions. Windows figures people are afraid of file extensions, but they're nothing to be afraid of. Sorry for the off topic response, but I figured this was probably what was causing Frank's problem. This is also from a windows 98 se and window-eyes perspective, so if the actual names of things varry in windows xp, I appologize for that. On Mon, 18 Oct 2004 09:11:53 -0400, Frank Deweese wrote:
