No known problems have occured. "I highly recommend going back into folder options and rechecking the 'Hide extensions for known file types.'" Please be more specific as to the problems that can be encountered. There are a couple of ways to do this. What is ther 2nd way? Thanks.

How about an article on what the common extensions actually are and what they might do...
