The default settings of the MS Windows explorer are 100% wrong, they hide files and file types from users. This makes troubleshooting hard and changing some settings impossible.

Please correct these settings if you do not find your INI files or can not check whether DLL files are installed or missing. To change them, open your windows explorer and choose the following menu entry :
Explorer menu
You will see a dialog box. In this dialog box check/uncheck all checkboxes and radio buttons as shown to get all available information that the explorer can give you.
Explorer menu Explorer menu
Doing this cannot damage your system, it just reveals informations that MicroSoft does not want you to see.
Some brain damaged idiots decided to make it even more thrilling in newer windows versions, some require to explicit make all folders like current. So if you have such a weird piece of pseudo OS you need to click the button "Like current folder", else it helps only in one location.
Unfortunately I had no success when I tried to get better english screenshots but I hope you will find the settings if I show the german ones.
