Maybe we should take a poll and see how many people leave that
blasted "hide the extension" setting, when installing Windows.

That's one of the first things you "fix" after installation.

You cannot safely or efficiently run with the default setting.
The first example, is what you find with the Hide The Extension in File Explorer Options.

      jugofwine   (some little icon you can't make out)
      jugofwine   (some little icon which is not the same as the other one)

      versus after the user corrects that setting

      jugofwine.txt
      jugofwine.jpg

When you can't make out the icon, the extension adds the distinction required.
