Hey, got a mac awhile ago, but have a question.

Is it possible to hide all extensions without getting the info on each file and checking off "hide extension"?

My music folder shows the .mp3 extension for songs and I followed your directions but the box wasn't checked to begin with. If I go to their individual options I can still 'hide extension'.
