Open any folder. Go tools -> folder options -> click the "view" tab -> uncheck "show file extensions for known file types"
While you're there you may also want to select "show hidden files, folders, and drives", and uncheck "hide protected operating system files" (though you'll want to turn that one back on once you've solved this thing).
The reason you might want to do that is that I've seen a virus create new files with the same names as the actual files you want, but with the wrong extensions, and hide the real files... IIRC, it also labeled them as protected OS files.
If you can't find "tools", press Alt.
