.doc extension appears in Open box
I didn't suggest that anything was removed as such but that an automatic
Windows Update changed the setting. It is still a security risk hiding the extensions. Terry "Ron O'Brien" wrote in message ... Hmm I've not removed any Windows up-dates and I'm the only user of this PC. It just suddenly started happening Monday, I've not removed or installed anything. I've just re-booted the PC to see if the "Hide file extensions..." option becomes un-ticked again, but it hasn't so we'll have to see what happens again tomorrow morning - I like a bit of intrigue...ever since I started using Windows!!! :-) Ron "Terry Farrell" wrote in message ... Far more likely a Windows Update removed. Terry "Ron O'Brien" wrote in message ... Thanks for the explanation Jay. One really strange thing is this morning the thing happened again! All the file extensions are visible and the tick has gone from the 'Hide File Extensions for Known File Types' option. I've run a virus check and spyware/malware check no problems - just weird why all of a sudden this is happening Ron |
