Certainly is a good post from an AV point of view as well as for being an eye-opener
on file property+extension details.

Since here the Powertoys tools-set is also installed, then all of the following
keys listed below were showing the "NeverShowExt" values and have deleted them
as instructed, tho all could have also been renamed into "AlwaysShowExt".

key "Shortcut"(linkfile)
key "Send To Clipboard as Name PowerToy"
key "Send To Command Line PowerToy"
key "Send To Clipboard as Contents PowerToy"
key "Send To Mail Recipient MAPI PowerToy"
key "value not set"
key "value not set"
key "Send To Internet Mail Recipient PowerToy"
key "Send To Any Folder PowerToy"
key "Document Shortcut"(DocShortcut)
key "Internet Shortcut"(urlfile)
key "Link"(linkfile)
key "Shortcut to MS-DOS-program"(piffile)
key "Windows Explorer Command"(SHCmdFile)
key "Shell Extension"(ShellExt)
key "Scrapobject"(ShellScrap)

Results so far, are that now the following file extensions are visable:

.NameOnClipboard
.CommandLine
.ContentsOnClipboard
.MapiMail + .MapiSend
.CMCSend
.DeskLink
.InternetMailSend
.Other Folder
.doc.lnk + .shb
.URL
.lnk
.pif
.scf
.ShellExt
.shs
