Hi, Ignacio.
Bob's advice is goo, but remember that Microsoft worded that setting
backwards: :^{
At Folder Options | View, UNcheck the setting that says:
"Hide extensions for known file types"
You might also want to check "Show hidden files, folders, or drives", AND
UNcheck:
"Show protected operating system files (Recommended)"
(You'll need to confirm this last one with Administrator credentials, as I
recall.)
These 3 default settings are some of the first changes that I make each time
I install or re-install Windows Microsoft is trying to protect newbies from
mistakes and confusion, I suppose. But these settings are dangerous, in my
opinion, especially for newbies. They might not realize that a file with an
apparently safe name like "Mom.jpg" might actually be a malware file named
"Mom.jpg.exe", but with the significant ".exe" extension hidden.
In the Command Prompt window, type "dir /?" to see all the switches and
parameters available with the Dir command.
