  1. I don’t see the file type in the file explorer column


    I’ve bought the Surface Laptop and have a subscription to Office 365. I have an issue because the type column in File Explorer shows ms-resource:Strings/... rather than a file type such as Word, Excel or ppt.

    :)

    I don’t see the file type in the file explorer column

    How do I change what is listed in the Type column in Windows Explorer?


    Hi, if you wish to look a little deeper you could use this free program - here I've chosen zip as this shows the text appearing in file explorer's file type column clearly under Description, shown in explorer at the bottom of the screenshot.

    You can also see further details of course, such as the associated program.

    Whilst the program also lets you change those fields, I wouldn't suggest that here, although that would be 'safer' and easier than using a registry editor- better to try completely uninstalling those programs as suggested above, or succeeding in properly reassociating the relevant file types.
