| I'm guessing most people keep the default "Hide extensions" settings on, so they wouldn't even notice.
This is one of the first things I change after installing the OS. I'd love to know what idiot at Microsoft thought this was actually a good idea. |

I'd love to know what idiot at Microsoft thought this was actually a good idea. Most people do not know that Microsoft prefers your system in an unsafe mode and trust them (M$) to set up out of the box in a safe mode. I sometimes find after a big Microsoft update at work that I am back to the hide extensions (not recently, maybe they stopped doing that), which is irritating since in any given project I have many files with the same name, and different extensions. And do not say use different names, it is an older contract and costs too much money to change requirements.

I'd love to know what idiot at Microsoft thought this was actually a good idea. Still, no excuse for even the average downloader to fall for some lame trick like that. Usually video files are associated with your media player, so you'd know. And anyways, when you download using your favorite torrent program, they usually do show the extension of the files (at least from experience with uTorrent and Azureus, they do).
And I always go to 'details' to see the file list before I download a torrent anyways. Or better yet, with uTorrent, once you open a .torrent file, a window is forced up asking you where you want to save said files. And the extensions are right in plain view. |
