music & pictures extensions?

Is there a secret to having the 3 letter extensions being displyed in "my
pictures" & in "my music" folders?
I can copy a file from within these folders & paste it elsewhere & straight
away I can see the extension.
I've tried opening the folder & going to tools etc & set it to "not hide
......" but it doesn't change it.

It's OK....... found out it only applies to the samples included in the
install.
Thanks....
