Alternatively open a command prompt (cmd) and 'mkdir X:\.autoshelf-uninstall' (replace X with the drive letter your kobo got)
Windows look for a dot for read the extension. If you put ".something" Windows read "no_name.something" and ask for a name for file. Windows accept multiple dots in a name, but only the last dot is used for extension, so if you write ".something." Windows read ".something.no_extension" and then you can't see the last dot but yes for the others.
