Fro some REASON my computer is displaying all these program ext like .doc for Word files, .xls for Excel files, .exe, etc and I previously did not have this display where all my word, excel files, and everything else had the FILE extension hidden so something like "File.doc" for example would instead just be "File" without the .doc attached to it.  What i want to know is how do I hide the EXTENSIONS for PROGRAMS so IO don't have to bother always typing in .doc whenever I save a Word file? 

Also when I copy and move files I keep getting a stop window popping up saying "Do you want to move Thumbs.db" or something like that and no matter how many times I click Yes to All I keep getting this annoying message everytime I move files AROUND.  How do I Hide "Thumbs.db" to prevent these inconveniences from happening?1. Open My Computer, open the Tools menu, select Folder Options, click the View tab, put a dot where marked below:



2. Stop Windows from saving the thumbnail cache (THUMBS.DB): http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/article03-204Thanks that worked.
