Answer» FIRSTLY I'm a newcomer to this site and to computing in general so I hope this is in the right place and please go slow and explain clearly to me any answers I hope you have. I've been using this computer on windows xp for quite some time and all my photos etc I have stored in files and I've always renamed the photos simply by right clicking on them then clicking rename and typing in the name I want. This has never before been a problem, but all of a sudden all the photo names have appeared with .jpg or .GIF etc after their names and I'm no longer allowed to rename them or I will no longer be able to open them again. The WARNING I get when I try to rename is "if you change the file name extension, the file may become unusable" Anyone KNOW what I've done and how to reverse it Go Start/Control panel; -launch 'Folder options' if it is in classic mode, or 'Themes' and then 'Folder options' if it is in categories view mode; -go to View tab; -scroll down and check the box prompting for 'Hide extentions for known file types'. *censored* that's easy when you know how . . . like most things I've spent hours trying to find that I'm really really GRATEFUL, many thanks You're welcome |
