Thank you for writing the article I couldn't agree more that's so annoying not to see the extentions not to mention a lot of things with Vista.

Guys you can change Folder Options from the Organize tab at the top of the folder when it is open, this makes it alot easier than going through the whole control panel scheme and i totaly agree vista was a failure xp much better and they should have kept the same interface in vista

Thanks. This was helpful. I have no idea why a company that has the financial resoures to make thier products more usable missess stuff like this. Extensions should be the default.

Hi, this method worked for me, thanks!

BTW, while "apply to folders" was greyed out, I found 'apply' and 'ok' worked fine.

I also didn't realise I could get the Control Panel back to the Classic View (the Vista way is too confusing) and I also set "Use Windows classic folders".

I also use the old-style Start Menu, and I remember altering that in XP from the moment I first used that in mid 2003. They should concentrate on compatability with older programs rather than adding nicities to it.
