This is not really important, but it's driving me nuts.

In the Explorer, the file "Type" for Office files is always some weird short
sentence. For example, "Microsoft Office Excel Spreadsheet".

I don't begrudge Microsoft wanting to stick their name in there, but it
renders that column much less useful than necessary.

Does anyone remember how to change that?

Thanks in advance.
 
Well thanks, Bob; that was really quite helpful and I appreciate your response.

However, there are many situations in which it is handy to sort by file type.
