Hidden Files in EXPLORER only

Can someone explain why I can't see these files?
See

JPG for more information. If I can't attached I will have to post on my
website and repost a link.

running Vista Ultimate 64


If you feel this post would be better served elsewhere (security, network
sharing) please let me know.

Sorry, I for one am not about to click on an unknown link. Why don't you
just describe your problem in more detail.

Do not save files to the Program Files folder or sub-folders. Vista will
not allow it.

Click on the button that says "Compatability Files" and it will take you to
where the files actually are (in the Virtualstore).
Probably is C:\Users\youraccount\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program
Files\AutoXray\EZ-PC\Data

Trust me what is in that picture can't be fully EXPLAINED like it is shown.
It would take a Book.

But to make you feel better here is my best chance.
Basically a program is installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoXray\
It stores it's data files in C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoXray\EZ-PC\Data
Two example files exist here and they are .psc files.
The issue is actually 4 .psc files are here. I can't see the two that I
saved here with the program when viewing through Explorer. I can only see
the orginal two files.
If I click on open in the program all four show. I can right click on the
ones not shown and see the details along with a file path location to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoXray\EZ-PC\Data\xxx.psc

Thanks Dave,
I found them.
C:\Users\sup3rman\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files
(x86)\AutoXray\EZ-PC\Data
Can someone tell me though why the XXXX in the file properties it doesn't
show the ACTUAL path. That is just stupid that no where can you see the
actual path.

Again thank you.
One vista issue down two to go.

Vista is remapping the data in the background (virtualization) to allow
broken applications which insist on writing to the "Program Files"
directory.

Allowing the "real" path to show up would defeat the purpose.

I understand what it is doing.
What should be done is a showing of a Virtual path and then an Actual path
when looking at the file. This would be beneficial for everyone.

Yeah, allowing the virtualized path to be retrieved via API, and
displayed in Explorer, would be nice.
