extensions on every filename

Hi! Just got registered by this forum. My problem is (I don’t know if it is really problem) all the excel files in my computer show the .xls extension and I never noticed this before only right now. Is there something wrong with my computer because not only the excel files show the extension also word document. Every time I save a file it will automatically has an extension even if I delete the extension after I click save the extension will still appears.

Normally when I saved files I don’t see any extension in the file when it's in the folder.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

see attached image.

Open Windows Explorer, Tools > Folder Options > View, check Hide extensions for known file types.

But you really shouldn't ...

but why i shouldn't have to?

im using FF.

FF -- FireFox? Not Internet Explorer, Windows Explorer -- the file system browser.

I didn't say you shouldn't have to, I suggested you shouldn't do it. Extensions are a meaningful part of the filename.

pardo me...ok i'm with that but i'm not used to see those extensions it irritated me.


thank you so much i think i got it...it works!

You're welcome.
