Post subject: How do I make VIsta show all file types? Add to elertz Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windows>vista>general (more info?)
On any WIndows machine, about the the first thing I do is make file
explorer show file types. I can't find that in Vista. Where should I
look?
Is there a HOWTO website for common system tasks in Vista?
Thanks,.

Do you mean the file extensions? Or do you mean that you want a
column that deseribes the file type?
The former is the way it was in XP so I'll assume you want the latter.
At the top: View - Choose Details.

Control panel, folder options, it's in there somewhere.

You can also when in a window of files is being displayed. Select
Organize --> Folder and Search Options -> View tab.
Also here is the website I found this out in:

Hi,
It's in the same location as in previous version of Windows. Control
Panel/Folder Options/View tab.

The built in 'Help & Support' or the Windows Help and How-to at
Microsoft spring to mind as starting points.
