Definitely. Especially, I don't see how it could affect visibility by
the TeX programs. I admit it is a bit confusing to see this speeddial
icon, but I can't change either the Windows file association or the
Web2c extension used for configuration files.

John: My opinion is that you might have another problem. Investigation
would require to trace some kpsewhich command at the point you think
.cnf files are not found by TeX. I can help if you want to do that.
