Can't help you with that one.

In Windows, files and folders can be marked as "hidden" or "system".  By
default, the Windows Explorer doesn't show them.  To see everything, do
this:

- Go to the Tools menu and click "Folder Options"
- Click the "View" tab
- Select "Show hidden files and folders"
- Deselect "Hide protected operating system files"
- Click "Ok"
