For some reason, all the files on this computer won't show the filetype. (.doc, .gif, .jpg, etc.) And I know it was doing it before, it just suddenly stopped within the past two days.

And in one folder, it won't even show the filename. <-- Part that hasn't been solved yet

It's not really a major problem, but it's really irritating me because I like seeing the filetype right under the file. And the lack of file names is getting to me now too. >_>

Any help?

For Windows XP, first open up a folder. Doesn't matter what kind. Then...

Tools > Folder Options > View > Scroll down until you see 'Hide extensions for known file types'. If it's checked, uncheck it, then click OK. You may have to close and reopen the folder to see the changes.

If that doesn't solve it, then I have no idea.

O__O That was easy. Solved the problem of the missing filenames, thanks!

Now I just have the problem of the one folder where it's not showing either the filename or the filetype. >_> It happens to be the folder that I visit the most, so now that's bugging me.

What do you mean not showing either? Can you post a screenie?

It's just in this one particular folder. Every other folder shows the name of the file and the filetype, but I can't figure out how to make this folder get with the program.

Right-Click > View > Icons

I'm not sure if that'll fix it, as in my folders when I go to Thumbnails (what you're currently on) the file names are there, so I dunno.
