By default, Windows Explorer hides a lot of files from the user. It's easy enough to turn them back on, and if you want to poke around your system it's the only way to fly.
  1. Open Windows Explorer.
  2. Go to the Tools menu, and select Folder Options....
  3. Select the View tab, and under Hidden Files and Folders, select Show hidden files and folders.
  4. Beneath this, deselect Hide extensions for known file types. This means you should now be able to see whether a file is a .JPG or a .PNG for example.
  5. You can optionally deselect Hide protected operating system files (Recommended) under this, however most people won't need this, and unless you really want to see a Desktop.ini file in every folder, it's best to just leave it off.
Make sure you can see all your files, not just the ones Microsoft wants you to see.
