Hi PatrickF11, Intune is able to deploy custom Windows 10 profiles by leveraging OMA-URI settings.
A complete list of available configuration service providers (CSPs) that Windows 10 supports in the Configuration service provider reference can be found here.

 

In reviewing the available configurations, there are a couple of options available for FileExplorer policies, which currently, does not have the file type attribute available at this time.

 

I'm sure you know that we're always working to improve the end-to-end experience, feel free to suggest an idea over at our Intune UserVoice so that other customers can vote on this!

Hope this helps!

    Mykey You can do this via a simple Powershell Script or a Remediation Task via Intune.

    Something like this:

     

    try
     {
         Set-ItemProperty -Path HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced -Name HideFileExt -Value 0 -ErrorAction Stop
     }
     catch
     {
         Write-Error -Message "Could not write regsitry value" -Category OperationStopped
         $exitCode = 1
     }
