Oh yeah, me too. This only really clicked in my memory because I was trying to show someone how to change the views a few weeks ago. :)

I almost did, smile, but I've had mine set on details since the dawn of time and don't even think about it. If it's not set to details, control-shift-6 will get it there. Even if you have file extensions turned off, you can always use search to find files of a particular type by typing the file extension you want. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of JM Casey Sent: Wednesday, December 20, 2017 7:08 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Revealing File Extensions in Windows 10 Hi. I just wanted to add, what you say, Rebecca, about JAWS telling you this information is true ... if you have your view set to "details". If not, you will not see this information, and hitting "right" may just get you to another column of files. There are a lot of reasons why I think you should always have your computer show file extensions. But ultimately it's up to you and what you are comfortable with. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Rebecca Lineberger Sent: December 20, 2017 5:46 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Revealing File Extensions in Windows 10 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.

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!
