When I click on explorer in Windows XP & look at files I find that video
files are just listed as video files. Can you get it to be more specific &
automatically display AVI, MPEG2 etc.?

Click to expand...
Try using View -- > Details and see if thats what your looking for.

Also you could change the show file extention for known file types under
the Tools -- > Folder Options -- > View Tab -- then change the option
listed to show file extention for known file types.

Hopefully one or the other will help.
 
I already have both of these things set that way & it still doesn't get any
more specific that what it already said.
 
Your software changed it. The descriptions are
Video File (mpeg)
(etc)
in a standard XP.
