Yes. Win7 has the option, and it behaves as you describe.

I always uncheck this feature because I want to actually see the extension.

So do I. T'is a mystery why that option is by default 'checked'. I 'support' my extended family, and have had to deal with may questions of the form "The file is named foo.doc, but it is opening with excel. Why?" Answer: because the file is really named foo.doc.xls, but you can't see that.
