About this tag
File extension visibility in Windows refers to the setting that controls whether file extensions (like .exe, .docx, .pdf) are shown in File Explorer. By default, Windows hides these extensions, which can make it difficult to identify file types at a glance and may pose security risks, as malicious files can be disguised with misleading icons. Enabling file extension visibility is a recommended adjustment for users who want to better understand their files and avoid potential threats. This topic is commonly discussed in the context of optimizing Windows settings for improved security and usability.
