I don't mean using the Type or File Extension columns. I mean just displaying the whole thing in the Name column.

Hi LaurelS.

I'm David, and I'm happy to help you.

In File Explorer, do the following:

  1. Open the "View" menu;
  2. Tick "File name extensions" in the "Show/hide" section.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions.

Hi again Las, on the View menu at the top of File Explorer, tick the 'File Name Extensions' box.
