(Hide file extensions?) Really, M$ makes popups for everything attempting to make things easier (which doesn’t) then they name “Hide File extensions” which “show files extensions”….jesus christ – adios Billie gates…Screw windows dude, MAC here I come…I just can’t take it anymore..I don’t even want to TRY W7…forget it.

I like how people keep saying windows sucks, but at the same time they keep searching for help on the internet ;)

I was just trying to set a file association (Vista 32bit) to a new embroidery program. At somepoint I typed in the name of the program (embird) and all of the file types in 2000 files changed from .jef (the extension my machine looks for) to embird. I can’t figure out how to fix it or even how to get back to the window. Help!

thanks so much!
looked for like 10 min to try and find the option, never figured the default would be to ‘hide’ file extensions…
honestly the more people know about extensions, the less they’ll break their computer M$.

This does NOT work. When I open Explorer there is no Layout button next to the Views button.

VIsta is like this. A pure pile of ….. It changes in unexpected ways everywhere you go.

What was the theory of design in Vista. Decide what to display in the same screen situation but whatever time of day it is?

Junk.

thanks. I always have to use special software to open files with vista, vista tends to be a programmers nightmare, although I still prefer it to xp which I felt was too limiting, I'm waiting for a price drop before upgrading to windows 7.
