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.

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.
