The quick answer to revealing file extensions is to press right arrow on the file your cursor is on and JAWS will tell you the file type--Word document, text document, etc. I never, with this information, needed to turn on hidden file extensions. But if you still want it, with your documents folder open, press alt-f, then o. Shift-tab once to get to the list of tabs. Right arrow to View and tab a couple of times to you get to a tree view of a whole list of items you can check or not. Turning on hidden extensions for known file types is in this list. Check it and tab to ok. For creating a new folder, with Documents open, either press alt-2 on the top row of numbers along the top of your keyboard, or press alt and tab twice to new folder. HTH.

Hi everyone. Can someone tell me how to reveal file extensions in Windows 10? I'm find quite a lot is different when I go into the file menu I couldn't find where to create and name a new folder, for instance. If someone could help me out, they'd save me a lot of time and stress digging around a system I'm still new to (grin). Thanks a bunch!
