What is a file extension?

The file extension usually consists of 3 or 4 character string. It is always located after the last dot in the filename. On the basis of the file extension we can define what type of data is encoded in the file (what file format it is). To see the extensions of all the files on your computer, you must do the following:

1. Enter My computer> Tools > Folder options
2. Click View
3. Uncheck the option Hide the extensions of the file types..
