MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / August 2007MSOL 2007 drops file extensions when saving
I am using outlook 2007 and when I right click on a file to save it the extension is dropped by default in the file save dialog box. This is really annoying since when I return to the file later the extension isn't there and windows doesn't know which application to open it with. Any suggestions on how to get this to stop? Thanks, I cannot repro that here. Which version of Windows are you using? Do you have "Show file extensions for known file types" enabled in Windows? Do you rename the file or do you leave it as is provided by the sender of the message?

That is identified by the file name in the attachments field (which includes the extension) and the file symbol. It is only when the file name is "duplicated" in the save dialog box where the extension is dropped. I assume that since I can see the extensions and symbols that my "Show file extensions for known file types" is enabled. Hope this helps clarify things. > I cannot repro that here. > Which version of Windows are you using?

Hide extensions for known file types was checked. Once I unchecked it everything seemed to work correctly. Thank you.
