PS logo on thumbnails

Have a new Win 11 computer.  I see all the thumbnails but unfortunatley with this system I can't tell which is which.  There is no PS logo on the thumbnails.  Therefore, I wind up opening a file in PS that I thought was a jpg.  This is a problem as I have multiple similar images saved in several formats and I don't always want to open a PS file.  Is there any way to get that PS back on the thumbnail so I can tell the difference between PS, JPEG etc?

I'm not sure about the change with Windows 11, but I'd recommend showing file extensions. It's one of the first things I do on any Mac or PC because you can see what kind of file you're working with by just looking at the file extension. I often have files with the same name but different extensions (like file.psd and file.png) in the same folder. Without see file extensions that would get confusing!

Absolutely. Why hidden file extensions is the default is hard to understand. That's working blindfolded and just complicates everything.
