If you’ve ever wanted to have OS X show file extensions for all files, all the time, it’s a very simple process.

  1. Click on any finder (or the desktop)
  2. Select Preferences from the Finder menu
  3. Click on the Advanced button
  4. Check off the Show all file extensions box
  5. Close the Finder Preferences window

Voila! All is revealed.  Wasn’t that easy?  It probably took you longer to read this than to actually make the change. :)
