Try doing a Windows search of your LucasArts folder for SWKotOR.ini

That should do it.

Let's go back and start over. And remove any confusion, let's first make sure you disable ever-troubling the "Hide Extensions of Known File Types" in Windows Explorer -> Tools -> Folder Options -> View

When you do that you should see the full name of "swkotor.ini".

Now...
HOW TO ENABLE CHEATS:

Find the file called "swkotor.ini" in your Knights of the Old Republic game folder. Edit the file with Notepad and under the line [Game Options] add the following line:
EnableCheats=1
(thread link (http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=119128))

Presumably, you knew this since you knew to look for the swkotor.ini file. Open up swkotor.ini make sure you made that change exactly as it appears above in [Game Options] section. Save. Double-check one more time. :)

Now launch KotOR and load a savegame. Press the ~ key and now it should bring up the console. The cheat commands are listed in that thread link above.

Well you have to go to swkotor.ini in your SWKotOR folder or SWKotOR2 Folder and under Game Options type EnableCheats=1 then you press ~ in game to open the consol. for KOTOR I you will know it is working when you try and type soemthing and it appears o n the top of the screen. for KOTOR II you will know it is workign when you can't move after pressing ~
