Show files extension toogle in context menu

I use the folder options and just uncheck Hide folder extensions as I'm in File Explorer [renamed from Windows Explorer of earlier versions] daily doing file management work. I've never gotten my head wrapped around a logical reason to hide the extensions but then I've "come up in the ranks" from DOS of the early '90s.

I wish I've had the option for toggle hide/show files extension by simply push left SHIFT for extended menu anywhere on empty space in a folder or desktop, and choosing it from there, rather than doing it by folder options or the explorer drop down menu with all extra functions over there as it takes to much time everytime I just want to do a fast check of the file extension. I've a registry file found on internet but it doesn't work. Is there such a possibility? Can it be done by registry tweaks? Can anybody help me?

Below is the registry file found on internet.

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFileSystemObjects\shell\Windows.HideSelected]
"Description"="@shell32.dll,-37575"
"ExplorerCommandHandler"="{0947c622-f98a-48a5-9df7-60e5fe202e07}"
"Icon"="imageres.dll,-5314"
"MUIVerb"="Show/hide files extension"
"Extended"=""

Unfortunately, that registry entry is for toggling the Hide selected items setting below instead.

I found the correct one, and will have a tutorial for it today. I'll post back with a link to the tutorial when it's ready.

Ok @bl00keRs ,

All finished.
