I've just placed Windows XP Professional on my notebook and when I go to look at files in my directories, the file extensions are missing.

For instance, when I look inside a file folder that has 5 programs/files inside, I go to my tool bar, hit 'View' then 'Details' I'm still not able to view the file extensions (.exe, .doc, .xls, etc.)

Anyone know how to config XP so I'm able to view file extensions?
 
Onen up Windows Explorer
Click Tools -> Folder Options -> View -> Take the tick away from "Hide extensions for known file types"
