Yeah, that's definitely worth doing.  Even if you want to keep some 
of the pretty stuff, turn off Animate Controls, Transparent Glass, 
and all the slide or smooth-scroll stuff.


BTW, does anyone know of a utility that lets you configure all those 
visual effect settings from the command line?

[H] Win7 frustrations?

2014-06-05 Thread DSinc 
I truly mean no dis-respect. I am really trying to join the Collective 
again.

Have win7PRO 32bit and win7PRO 64bit loaded 2 machines).
Both seem to run well, BUT,

Can anyone point me to where I can find the 'switch' to turn ON the
file extensions (doc, zip, txt, msi, exe, jpg, xyz, etc.)???
I tried IE11. Found zip. Used to was an Advanced tab from an Options
button. Totally confused!

I've deleted all my links to XP help. Can anyone share links to Win7/8.1 
sites I

might go peek/poke at

Thank you very much.

Open up a Windows/File Explorer window. At the top Choose Organize -
Folder Options and then the tab for View. Uncheck the box for hide
extensions for known file types.

Try this.

Click Control Panel
Click Appearance and Personalization
Click Folder Options.
Go to the View tab, then Advanced settings.

Clear the Hide extensions for known file types check box,
click OK.
