windows hides file extensions by default.
DOS making file extensions a fundamental part of their filesystem just to hide them by default in windows is some good irony.
I still don’t get why this is the default, and why people don’t change it when they install. It’s been a detriment of the OS since day one, and changing that one thing alone probably could have saved so many people over the decades.
You can change it??
So unhide them? It will still say Application under type. I’m not going to defend Microsoft doing that but it’s not like it’s a new thing or it’s hard to fix.
Sure, but this isn’t geochemistry it’s the most popular desktop OS in the world that the person in this scenario ostensibly owns and uses. In addition, they’re using it for the famously risky practice of piracy so you’d expect a modicum of caution.
