Windows explorer show docker file Part 2

Updates to conversation of closed issue #8934

Proposed changes
Add image of Windows File Explorer that shows a Dockerfile

What Was Done and Why
I could not easily find out how to create a Dockerfile on windows. Many sites include the Docker site mentions using a Dockerfile, but do not say how to create it. I initially thought it was like git (.git), however, I figured out that it is simply Dockerfile.

In Microsoft's Dockerfile on Windows, they attempted to solve this gap by adding:

This "Writing Your First Dockerfile" article has a good example too.
