Please see How to reference Assemblies in the GAC:
We have been getting some posts lately where developers are installing assemblies in the GAC and then asking why they don't see them enumerated in the Add Reference dialogs. This should clear things up for most developers.

You have two objections to the article. On the first issue, you can browse to the virtual folder. c:\windows\assembly\GAC .. or GAC_32. (on a 32-bit machine). On the second, tough luck.

Basically you just need to right click your project and to choose Add reference...; that .NET tab should contains all GAC registered assemblies. You don't need to have a DLL copy, nor to access windows folder.
Is this doesn't works, so you have a machine setup problem, and will need to contact your desktop support personnel, or to follow @Andrew answer
