Explanation
Protected .dll files in Windows are system files and are hidden by default in File Explorer and even in directory listings. They are not visible because the operating system hides protected operating system files to prevent accidental deletion. The System Control Panel applet (A) manages system properties and performance. Display (B) manages visual settings. Indexing Options (D) controls Windows Search indexing. Folder Options (C) in Control Panel (or File Explorer's View settings) contains the option to 'Show hidden files, folders, and drives' and to uncheck 'Hide protected operating system files.' Enabling these settings makes protected .dll files visible so the technician can locate them in the System32 directory.
