Look to your command prompt or another file/dir browser like Gyuala's navigator.
As to the second question, Vista is not XP and vice versa. I'm seeing more issues like this so this one is not a surprise.

I have a program I created which creates files and sub directories under the directory it is installed in (/Program Files/myApp). It can find those files and directories it created but they don't show up in explorer. (not hidden or system) Other programs can't see them either. Why can't I see them in explorer when the application can?
In XP this doesn't occur.
