Issue With Hidden Files & Folders

I have enabled viewing hidden files and folders. Still, some folders and
files are hidden from me! Here is an example: I navigate to eMule folder,
which should contain Incoming folder, but does not. I start up eMule, go to
Tools and select Go To Incoming Folder and the folder opens up normally
showing the files I have downloaded. This problem also exists with a game I
own. I'm not able to view the map files I have created with the game. Yet
when I start the editor and choose to open a previous map file, it is nicely
there in the folder it is supposed to be in.

What the hell is going on?

Uncheck "hide protected system operating files"

probably because they are under your "USER" folder structure.
pick a name for a file you know to exist and search for it.
here is where some of mine are for example.

C:\Users\"user"\AppData\Local\VirtualStore

Could be a compatibility issue.

I'm guessing that eMule is not Vista compatible and is trying to store data
in a system folder like Program Files. Browse to the eMule folder. Do you
see a button on the tool bar labeled Compatibility Files? Click on it.
