A technician is assisting a user who needs to frequently edit file names within a directory that contains a large number of files. The user wants to ensure that file extensions are always displayed in File Explorer to avoid confusion between similarly named files. Which setting should the technician advise the user to modify in the File Explorer Options to achieve this?
Under the View tab, uncheck 'Hide extensions for known file types'
Under the View tab, uncheck 'Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)'
Under the View tab, uncheck 'Always show icons, never thumbnails'
Under the General tab, select 'This PC' from 'Open File Explorer to'
Enabling 'Hide extensions for known file types' in the File Explorer Options will cause all file extensions to be displayed, which is crucial for users who need to distinguish between files with similar names but different extensions. Other options like 'Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)' and 'Always show icons, never thumbnails' affect visibility of system files and the display format for files, respectively, but do not impact the visibility of file extensions specifically.
