Click on the Start Orb and go to Control Panel. Double-click Folder
Options. Go to the View tab. Uncheck "Hide extensions for known file
types". Apply/OK out.

In My Computer, go to Tools | Folder Options. On the View tab, in the
Advanced settings box, uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types."

Vista has some "super hidden" extensions.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

ShowSuperHidden:REG_DWORD:1-enable, 2-disable

Not sure of the function of this one, so I always change both at once:

SuperHidden:REG_DWORD:1-enable, 2-disable
