When you look in the Explorer, there are hidden folders, but when you type the location in the address bar, see the files/folders

Personally, I am frustrated to discover file that are currently hidden by vista.

For example my temporary Internet folder located in my Temp folder

If I open Explorer and browser to the Temp folder is empty - no doubt.   It doesn't even have a drop down menu arrow to indicate that the Temp folder has all the data inside.

But if I type in the Address bar D:\Temp\Temporary Internet folder, it will appear with all internet data inside the it - except for the index.dat file.  The index.dat file does not appear, even if I have a cleaning program story who insists he's here...

Subsequently, if I close the browser and reopen it in the Temp directory the temporary Internet folder is still invisiable.

I checked and rechecked all over the place and the cant "find any feature that dictates why this file is hidden and not accessible to me.

If anyone has any ideas about this phenomenon?

What worries me the most is that I (as most people can have too) have hundreds, maybe thousands of records.   Now, I wonder what are those who also hid Vista.

Your question is more complex than what is generally answered in the Microsoft Answers forums. It is better suited for Windows Vista on TechNet. Please post your question in the TechNet Windows Forums.
