Windows File Explorer Settings: the Setting You Should Change Right Now
⚠️ Windows File Explorer tries to help by hiding some information. Unfortunately, that opens a hole hackers can use to fool you.
⚠️ Change this setting in Windows File Explorer
Make certain Windows File Explorer’s “Hide extensions for known file types” setting is not checked, or that the “View - File name extensions” setting is checked. When extensions are hidden, malware authors can relatively easily make documents appear as something other than they really are — which is malicious.
