Selection of Vista Explorer by default file extension: this can be changed?

By default, in the Vista Explorer, when you select a file name, the file extension is excluded. This behavior can be changed?

Thank you.

François

To see file extensions, go to start / Control Panel / folder options / view and presented the box Hide extensions of known file types.  This way you will always be able to see the file extensions.  I have no idea why that is enabled by default because it is very useful and I would even say that it is important.

If you have disabled (or if it's on, incidentally) and you rename a file without the extension, it will lose the file extension and won't open because he doesn't know what kind of file it is.  It's yet another reason for the extensions of files to all files are displayed permanently.  You do not want the name of the excluded file because this would mean that you could not change the types of files because the extension is "locked".  As long as you can see and change, there should be no problem.

When you select a file name in the file extension Explorer is excluded only if it is hidden.  Otherwise you can see.  In any case it's there even if you don't see it (unless you have changed the name and does not include the extension in the new name).

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

    You can use the free DNG Converter from Adobe, download the file above.

    DNG is digital negitive and it's open in Camera Raw Editor.

    This converter supports more than 500 different types of camera.

    If someone sends you a raw file and your Raw editor does not support this type of camera, you use the converter.

    Once converted, you can open it.

    OK... so it shows your camera has not been defined to take RAW images or you downloaded the wrong file in Photoshop.

    Most cameras that take RAW images have a framework for Raw images only or adjustment to take RAW images and regular at the same time.

    Test your camera again files for RAF types and if you do not check your settings of the camera again.

    You can not save or convert a regular image as a type RAW or DNG file.

  • When emailing photos that all my selected photos are sent through Windows Mail. How can I change this option to send through yahoo.

    I have never been able to set up Windows Mail by following the instructions of windows that I don't understand.

    GoTo to your email, a new message, type recipient address, type Note If it is, click on add attachments (symbol of a paper clip), then click on the option Browse next to the first attachment, then choose your photo file. When you find the picture you want to send, click twice and this file will appear in the lower box. Then add to attach file. Please note you will need to do this with each photo, unless you have separated them in a single file. I have a cap of 25 kb so it is difficult to assess how many photos can I have in the file. In addition, it takes a long time to understand, as well, I just do it one by one. You then click on attach the button at the top and what they download to your email.

  • default target Naming Convention can be changed?

    Dear all

    We use the grid control EM Oracle 11 g 2 to manage databases in the environment that hosts around 60 + databases in versions 11.0.1.7, 11.0.2.1 of and 11.0.2.2...

    More often than otherwise due to application restrictions, we are forced to use the same DB_NAME for many databases. At least 45 years old and most of them have the same DB_NAME running on different machines with different host name...

    Whenever we add a new target after the installation of the agent on the new target computer, we see the Grid control to identify the database DB_NAME. Since we often have the same value for DB_NAME to the database, we may first remove the target identified by GRID after agent installation. Later, we manually add the target as HOSTNAME_DB_NAME and so we are identified separately from the grid control Console...

    At this point, I was wondering if there is something that could work around on the OEM grid so that whenever a target is added, the agent rather than providing the DB_NAME would automatically provide HOSTNAME_DB_NAME... I search on the net, and I'm not successful yet...
    During this time, I thought I would post this request here and get your opinions or ideas... I hope that if you happened to come across this situation and share your experiences... It would be useful...

    Thanks in advance.

  • After saving the emails from windows live mail, why not open them on my computer as the file extension is wlmail.fol?

    After saving the emails from windows live mail, why not open them on my computer as the file extension is wlmail.fol?

    wlmail.fol is a tiny text giving the name of the folder. The exported messages will have filenames like 00D13E83 - 000025DF.eml. If you don't see all of the files like this, your export probably did not work properly.

    For a successful export, follow these directions:

    1. Set Windows Live Mail to work offline before starting.
    2. Create a temporary folder on your desktop * to contain the exported messages.
    3. In the Export Wizard, select the temporary folder, and then select all the folders.* *
    4. When it is complete, check that the number of files in each folder to the temporary folder is one more than the number of messages in the corresponding folder of WLMail.
    5. Copy the temporary file to its final destination.
      If you use a reader not NTFS to do this, you will see a warning that certain file properties will not be copied files. This can be ignored.

    * Windows Live Mail do not work with files that are not on a local drive, as opposed to an external or network drive. This is avoided by using the office as a temporary folder location. 
    * If you want to export the files sampled only, select each of them containing messages. Subfolders are not automatically selected by default.
