It’s fine for the type of user windows is targeting by default.
Most people don’t give a shit if it’s xls, xlsx, xlsm, or xlsb, so long as they can open it in Excel and punch in numbers, and there are mechanisms to prevent these people from getting infected easily.
You make a good point, I just hate it. I feel like there’s a lot of examples where this is more relevant but admit I’m struggling for examples (TXT, log, inf, etc) by really it’s only video files bay have quite different content of structure despite the same extension - this is why everyone uses VLC because it handles everything you throw at it
Another is not underlining the keyboard indicators.
These were both on by default in the early releases of windows (far as i remember) and some bunch of smooth brains decided to remove meaningful information from the interface. It should be clear and detailed in a user interface, not implied
Yeah it’s honestly way more likely for someone to change the file type and break the file while renaming it, than it is for malware to get past Defender.
First thing I do is unhide file types now since I grew up in the limewire era.
The fact that Windows hides file extensions by default is just absolute insanity to me.
It fits the overall spyware OS thing though.
If only wimdow did proper magic
Another fucking stupid default
