Literally the first thing I do on every new computer I've used in the last 20 years or so is change the setting to show all file extensions. It's always been scummy of Microsoft to hide those details and can only be justified at all by the notion that they want to make people dependent on their icons...which is a decent business justification and a horrible moral justification.
