After re-installing Windows XP all my folders that contail Spreadsheets have
the .xls file extension attachen. (Others, too...) I would like to change
back to filnames WITHOUT the extension, but cannot find anything to change
that (Neith in Excel, nor in the Control Panel/Folder Options. Any ideas?

Hi Felix
You should find it under /Control Panel/Folder Options/View/ Select " Hide
Extensions for known File Types "

You state "all my FOLDER names have an .xls extension"

Did you mean filenames within the Folders have the .xls extension?
