That's also more of a Windows issue than a user issue. I absolutely hate that file types are hidden by default in file explorer, makes the whole thing feel unusable. First option I change whenever I touch a Windows PC.

So besides the icon you can't see at first glance as a casual user that it's a zip file. And a ROM most likely had an icon the user wasn't used to, so they didn't notice something was wrong :-/

Right, I forget about that every time until I'm reminded of it. It's the first thing I change along with showing hidden files when helping someone. (Even if what they need help with is unrelated)
