Are you sure you have view all files/folders option turned on? If not theres
a bunch of stuff you wont see.

I was downloading some fonts today and by accident, I extracted them to
C:\Windows\FONTS\Fonts.  Oh well, no biggie, I'll just copy/paste them from
C:\Windows\FONTS
\Fonts to C:\Windows\FONTS .  I go into C:\Windows\FONTS and don't see the
directory, but if, in the address bar I type in C:\Windows\FONTS\Fonts, it
takes me there. 

This could prove to be a big problem for people who have open shares, as
people could hide files in your filesystem without you knowing where they are.
