file extensions in Windows Explorer are missing

[Nancy]

Hi,

I've been trying to set up the folder options to show file extensions when I
open my files in Windows Explorer. I always had them on my desktop computer
but they are not on my new laptop. Can somebody point me to the way to have
them show, please.

Thanks,
Nancy
