You CAN set Windows to show the full file names with extensions. My
guess is these files have a .PDF extension, which is why Acrobat Reader
can view them.

I got rid of the widgets, turned off user account controls, and have
been well satisfied with Vista.

I've been running with UAC off since about 30 minutes after installing
Vista. I found all the UAC crap so freaking annoying while trying to
install all of my programs that it was the FIRST tweak I applied.
I've never regretted it.
