Yes, you don't like Windows, we get it. Plus, you use a version that's old
enough that it lacks the straightforward tools you're complaining about.
And yes, complex tools for manipulating structured files are hidden from the
people who would screw things up by using them wrong, then complain because
they don't understand the system well enough to know they did something
wrong. However, they're not that hard to find and they're mostly very well
documented. For popular files, the interfaces are very well documented.
You complaining you can't find the Windows stuff is like Andrew complaining
he can't work grep. :-)
