Guys

Firstly multiple apologies if I've posted this into the wrong NG but after
trawling thru the inordinate amount of MS NG's I decided to post to this one
as it looked sort of right....

Anyhow

I've rolled out MS W2K ADV server at work, some years ago, upgrades are in
the pipeline and we deployed a policy to stop our STUDENTS from gaining
access to the "Tools | Folder Options" in explorer. I still need to keep
this option.

My web programming section need to gain access to 1 section of this
component. They need to take the tick out of the "Hide extensions for known
file types" so they can see the names of the components they are inserting
into their WebPages.

So..

Is anyone aware of where this registry entry is for this please as it would
make my life so much better

Thanks in anticipation

Steve
