I came across these 2 small programs that will add "Hide File Extensions" and "Show Hidden Files" to the Right Click Context Menu.

Now you don't have go through the many steps in Windows Explorer to change the "View Folder Options"
I use them, they are safe and free. Works with WindowsXP, Vista and Windows 7
