in thread Changing Windows Shortcut Icons

I know this thread is very old, but for some reason on my XP machine, I can SEE the .lnk extensions on all my shortcuts regardless of where they are. I remember intentionally enabling this but now I can't fix it. Anyone know how I can restore their previously hidden state?
