It still is.

One of the first things I do when setting up a new PC is deactivate Windows' stupid habit of hiding the file extension of known file types. It's because of this that people just go ahead and open files like "i_am_a_nasty_trojan.pdf.exe". It's utterly braindead to hide such valuable information from the user.

Just as braindead is relying on the filename extension to identify the type of file you're dealing with in the first place.
