Then it seems Windows Explorer is right up your alley. :) They hide the 
file extension by default. Users (like me) have to explicitly go into 
the settings and enable "show file extensions" option.

Even better, Linux and FreeBSD don't even need file extensions. File 
Extensions are simply for [some] human benefit (unlike Windows that 
requires them). Linux and FreeBSD OS's query the first 4-8 bytes of a 
file to accurately determine the file type and use the appropriate 
application to open them.
