Vista Forums - View Single Post - How to see and change file extension in vista ?

carol123 · 04-09-2008

I have followed these instructions myself - I'm having the same problem too - but no folder will show file extensions. What I'm trying to do is rename the file to an "ico" file and I can't because I can't get the folder to even show the file extension no matter what I check or uncheck in the Folder Options window. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!
