I'd love to be able to right click on a file in Windows Explorer and select a "filter on the selected file extension" to display only the selected file types in the folder. To my knowledge, Windows Explorer doesn't do this.
Anyone know of an alternative Explorer that will do this?

If you click the heading 'Type' in the right hand pane of Windows Explorer, the files will be sorted in ascending or descending order, depending on how many times you click, based on the file extension.
Of course, you can always go to the command prompt and type in the following:
D:
cd \temp
dir *.doc
You can also incorporate these simple batch commands into a script which prompts for the extension, and the output can be written into a text file, which the script can then display on the screen.

Within CMD, you can always reduce your directory/path to C:> by typing CD.. to "create diretories," minimizing the path and finding a finite area to work from.
From a blank canvas, of sorts, you can paste-in (Right-click on the title bar, properties, check-off both QuickEdit Mode & Insert mode;) ...makes pasting batches, in particular, much more easy and streamlined.
On a more remedial level, to filter your Windows Explorer types by "file type" or "file extension," you can always resort to (if you can bear Indexing / cisvc.exe) an advanced search, saved as an exemplar, and simply clicking the "type" column to sort your results; again, very remedial, I know, but if used a lot, it can work to your advantage, even with minimal indexing.
