It's possible that somebody (or some installer) has marked the 
cygwin1.dll in system32 as system and/or hidden. This may explain why it 
doesn't appear in explorer or a DOS directory listing.

Explorer has an option which will show hidden and system files: set that 
and you ought to be able to find it.
