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

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?
