1.3. Enable Display of File Extensions¶
This section is only needed if you are running on Windows.
It is a great idea to change your Window’s configuration to show file extensions.
A file usually has a name like Book report.docx
where the .docx
tells the
computer it is a Microsoft Word compatible document. By default Windows
hides the .docx
extension if there is a program installed to handle it.
If you are programming, this hiding part of the file name can be annoying.
For Windows 10, bring up a file explorer by hitting the Windows-E key. Then click the “view” tab and make sure “File name extensions” has been checked.
