WEB-IDE new-bee question

I'm glad you found a process that works for you @user7114 - (wow that username feels very dystopian )

Windows does have a default setting that hides file extensions by default, as @Gordon mentioned. This may be what's causing the difference in what you're seeing.

This is one of the first options that I change when using a computer, so I didn't even think of it.

The setting is buried in Windows 8, but I'll try to describe where its at if you want to see how your computer is set and/or change it.

• Open control panel,
  
• If view-by is set to categories, change it to large icons
  
• Within control panel, select the Folder Options icon
  
• Within the Folder Options dialog box, choose the 2nd tab titled view
  
• go to the bottom section labeled Advanced settings
  
• UNCHECK the option entitled Hide extensions for known file types
  
• click apply then ok (or just ok) to close the dialog box
  
  

You should now see the file extensions of all of the files when viewing a directory on your computer. (The extensions were always there, Windows was just being helpful and hiding them for you.)

I hope this helps.

Cheers.
