JSI Tip 1347. Office apps don't display file extensions in Open Dialog or Save As?


Example: The Save As Type in Microsoft Office Binder contains:

   Binder Documents
   Binder Templates
   All Files
instead of
   Binder Documents (*.obd)
   Binder Templates (*.obt,*.obz)
   All Files (*.*)
You have Hide File Extensions For Known Types checked on the View / Options / View menu
in My Computer or Windows NT Explorer.

If you have Active Desktop installed, use My Computer / View / Folder Options / View to deselect it. On the General tab, toggle your style and click Apply. Toggle it back and click Apply and OK.
