Introduction


The file extension identifies the file type. If you are an experienced Windows user, it is easy for you to identify the file type. Because it is very important to see the file extension to identify the type of file you are trying to open from a security point of view.
Even in the latest version of the Windows operating system - Windows 10, file extensions of known file types associated with certain software installed on your computer are always hidden by default.
More advanced Windows 10 users who want to keep their files and data under control can disable the "Hide extensions for known file types" feature.
