How do I make Windows show the file extensions? Like .exe or .jpg

I just can't figure this out: When I import/merge a .reg file (v5 format) manually by right-clicking the file in Explorer, it works perfectly. But if I try to import the very same .reg file in a batch file, it doesn't do anything! The .reg file is only changing keys under HKEY_USERS. Here's a...

I mean, i understand that text files are meant to be simple, but why isn't there a format that allows using colors in your text file, and possibly bold, italic and underline. I mean it would be very useful, since windows doc files are too slow to open and to complicated to edit. Also .java...

A search for "'How to view .thm files in Explorer" shows results that date back to Windows XP which makes me not consider what advice may be given. This search did teach me one thing though and that is that .thm files are not only images files, as i thought they would be. My THMs are all image...

Because my movie cataloging program isn't compatible with .tif images, I had to convert them to an acceptable type. This resulted in multiple images for each movie. That wasn't a problem until I recently started using their cloud database service, which complains about the .tifs every time...
