Did anyone find out a way to invoke the folder options dialog in Windows 8 preview. I want to start my programs by single click and I always want to see file extensions.

Edit:

For hidden files and extensions this link helps. But I want to get rid of the double-click too.

This is possible. Open up any explorer window then simply click File on the Ribbon, then click on Change folder and search options.

From here, you will get the normal dialog.

For single click opening choose Single-click to open an item (point to select) from the Click items as follows section on the General tab.

To show file extensions, choose Hide extensions for known file types from the big list under Advanced settings on the View tab.

Of course, you can also access it from command line / Run prompt:

control /name Microsoft.FolderOptions

Note that the menu described in the other answer to open folder options from explorer has been removed in the CP.
