How do I change the "File type" display in Windows Explorer to show the file
type name that I want. For example I would like to change "Adobe Acrobat
7.0 Document" to just "Acrobat" and "Microsoft Word Document" to just
"Word".
I tried changing the name in Tools | Folder options | File types (PDF) |
Advanced, and clicked on "OK", but it did not stay renamed, as it never
showed just "Acrobat" in Explorer's display, and was back to Adobe Acrobat
7.0 Document when I clicked on File Types | Advanced.
On searching this newsgroup in Google Groups, I came across an entry from
Oct 2003:
http://groups.google.com/group/micr...wsxp.customize&rnum=13&hl=en#3e626db988044a85
"Click on tools>folder options and flip to the file types tab. Select the
entry marked jpeg and click in advanced. In the edit file type dialog enter
the new name and click ok. Repeat this procedure for jpe and jpg files as
well. After this the file type should show whatever was specified by you.
Please do post back if you have any difficulties."
There was no post back so I assume that the OP had no problem. But it
doesn't work for me. Any ideas?
TIA
