Forcing Windows to Show File Extensions

I found the savegame files in the game directory, but I don't see any number extensions (.0, .1, .2, etc., or in the case of Angel of Darkness, .TRAODSG).

This is easily fixed. You just need to adjust the way your files are displayed. Changing this setting works a little differently in each version of Windows.

Windows 10: Open the Start menu and type 'File Explorer Options'. Then click the entry for 'File Explorer Options' that appears in the search results at the top of the Start menu. This should open the 'Folder Options' dialog box. In the 'File Explorer Options' dialog box, click the 'View' tab to display a long list of settings. Uncheck the box for 'Hide extensions for known file types'. Then click 'OK'.

Windows 8: Click the 'View' tab in the menu bar along the top of the window. Then check the box for 'File name extensions'. The extensions for all of the files in that folder should then be displayed.

Windows Vista and 7: Open the Start menu and type 'folder options'. Then click the entry for 'Folder Options' that appears in the search results at the top of the Start menu. This should open the 'Folder Options' dialog box. Click the 'View' tab to display a long list of settings. Uncheck the box for 'Hide extensions for known file types'. Then click 'OK'.

Windows 98, Me, and XP: Click 'Tools' in the toolbar at the top of the window and select 'Folder Options' from the drop-down menu. Click the 'View' tab. Under 'Advanced Settings' uncheck the box labeled 'Hide file extensions for known file types'. Click the button 'Apply to All Folders'. Then click 'OK'.

Windows 95: Click 'View' in the toolbar at the top of the window and select "Folder Options" from the drop-down menu. Click the 'View' tab. Uncheck the box labeled 'Hide file extensions for known file types.' Then click 'OK'.
