Explorer's default to always hiding the extentions that are registered.
To change:
Open an explorer window.
In the menu, chose "Tools"
Chose "Folders options"
Select the "Display" tab
Scroll down to "Hide extentions of known files types"
Uncheck the associated box.
Click "OK"

A few lines lower, you can supress the anoying "shortcut to..." from been added 
to the name of new shortcuts.
