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. :-)
