View 1 Replies View Relatedsolution for hiding file extensions for known file types... even after reboot? I know nobody likes to hide them, but I do and I have tried EVERYTHING! I have checked it under Folder Options, I have tried setting it in my registry, I have increased BagMRU Size to 8000+, I have even tried silly batch files suggested through web page research and no matter what I do windows xp pro will never remember the setting after reboot and show the extensions. Is there anyway to fix this annoying problem so what I set in folder options or in my registry remains as I have set it after reboot.

View 1 Replies View RelatedFor some odd reason now, everything on my desktop, and inside of my folders, pictures with the extension of JPG and so forth are not able to be saved unless i type in the extension also. I have no clue what could have triggered such an error, and I have no clue how to fix it. If I go and try to rename a file in my Pictures folder, for example, I can't rename it unless i type it as...."image.jpg"....I can't just save it as plain old, "image" - what the heck is going on? Does anyone know what happened or how to fix this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a file without an extension that I need to a) Identify, and b) Recover/Open. It is 559 MB (586,412,032 bytes), and is suppose to be a backup of emails from Windows XP (Outlook Express) that was created by a friend of mine, although he has since forgotten how he created it. It did have a file extension at first, though I tried changing it to several others while trying to open it, and through the process, the original file extension has been lost. Since then, I have just deleted the file name altogether. I have tried several programs in an attempt to identify the file, though none of them worked. The programs I have tried are File Analyzer, TrIDNet, DaubNET: Identify! None of them could identify the file. All of my emails and contacts are in this file, and I really need them.

If that's the case, I did install the 8.0 beta version about a week ago - which originally worked, but no longer does. I haven't uninstalled it yet.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently received an email from someone who told me they sent an excel file. I normally recieve excel files weekly from this person, l so I have no reason to belive it was not.When I tried to download it ("save as", not "open"), the file name was "CAD2359." and did not have a file extension. I changed the name to "new users", added an xls after the "dot" and the file downloaded, then I opened the Excel file normally.Later, I saw in the folder there were two files. One called "new users.xls" which is functioning correctly, and another called "new users." with no file extension (or recognizable icon).If I try to open that file, I get the "Open with" box, asking me to choose the program I wan to open it with.If I try to change the name of the file, I get an error message "Can not rename file. Can not read from source file or disk".If I try to delete the file, I get an error message "Can not delete file. Can not read from source file or disk".

View 6 Replies View RelatedAbout two day's ago I looked in the PF folder in my machine and as usual the PF's were .txt (except the Layout.ini, of course). But just now I happened to take a look at them and noticed that they have all changed to .pdf in some way. e.g. if I recall correctly an AVG Free file would be [something like] AVG75Free.txt but now it is AVG75FREE_516A1262.EXE-225B0AE9.pf and when I attempt to open it I get an error saying:Adobe Reader cannot open AVG75FREE_516A1262.EXE-225B0AE9.pf because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example if was sent as an email attachment and hasn't correctly decoded).My default pdf reader is Foxit. And the proficiency with which files/programs are opened does not seem to have been retarded.I don't recall doing anything that I believe may have caused this. And the only thing I have downloaded since last looking in the PF folder is TweakUI. Could the cause simply be a matter of non-intelligent design?
System backups are of no help as I apparently deleted any such when I cleaned house yesterday. The closest I have come to fixing the problem is to change the file type in Folder Options to Text Document using the TXT file extension which places the Notepad icon on the PF files (even after restart) instead of the usual [plain] text doc icon. But the PF files are now otherwise building and opening properly. Is having the Notepad icon on the PF files a problem? Complete AVGFree a/s and AVGFree a/v scans with current updates indicate no problems. I am using XP Home SP2 with all critical updates.
So chkdsk ran on my camera's memory card and now all my .JPG pictures now have .CHK as the file extension. If I manually change .CHK back to .JPG, my pictures are back to normal. The problem is is that I now have about 1,200 .CHK files to change back to .JPG. Is there a program that will mass edit file extensions for me?
