CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1202) — Question 161

A user is renaming a .txt file to a .xml file. After renaming the file. Windows Explorer shows the filename as Document.xml. However, the document properties shows the type of file as: Text Document(.txt). Which of the following controls enables the user to correctly change the file type?

Answer options

• A. Indexing options
• B. Format command
• C. Personalization
• D. Hide extensions

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because the 'Hide extensions' option can affect how file types are displayed and can lead to confusion when extensions are changed. The other options do not relate to modifying file extensions or types directly.
