    Need some help with file extensions

    Does anyone know how to programmatically unhide file extensions in windows explorer? I want my application to be able to make the file extensions for known file types visiable.

    Thanks,
    Lee

    I don't know if this is what you are looking for but there is a registry entry called HideFileExt. It is located here:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Advanced

    This is on a XP box.
