显示文件夹内的文件扩展名

Question

Currently, I am working on a feature that will make the files inside the folder that will not hide the file extensions using this code.

Imports Microsoft.Win32

Sub SetNoDrives(value As Integer, path as string)
  Dim RegPath As String = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]"
    Using Key As RegistryKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(RegPath)
        Key.SetValue("HideFileExt", value, RegistryValueKind.DWord)
    End Using
End Sub

the problem is, I don't know where to place the string path (folder path) on the code. the path is the specific location where you will always show the file extensions of the files inside the folder.

Any help will be much appreciated.

The reason you don't know where to put the folder path is because there is nowhere to put the folder path. This is a user-wide option, ie either extensions are displayed in every folder or no folder for the current user. You don't get to choose on a folder by folder basis. At least, there is no option in Windows/File Explorer to do that and I've never seen mention of it being possible, even when specifically searching for it.
