Turned the PC on this morning and all my files (audio , picture and video) now have the file type at the end of the file name so instead of cars42 it reads cars42.mpg same for all other file types, Why?
Also, had 2 new desktop icons "Desktop.ini" which open in wordpad as some directory log.
But now every folder now contains a desktop.ini file some have thumbs.db file.
Also, "This PC" has several device driver icons appeared which are empty but ask for a disc to be inserted, they read ie: CF/MD (E and SM/xD (F, aswell as a G: and H: , i've no idea.
I have not changed any file specs, it just appeared today.
I have many thousand files and need them to be short for work, i don't want the added .mpg,.jpg, .mp3 etc added.
Do i just system restore? how did this all happen though, Was it an update?
Also, Another seperate issue my PC takes several minutes to shut down though this has happened for most of the time i've had this PC which is only 3 months.
Using W8.1 on XPS 8700, how do i solve it? how to prevent it? TIA
