I experience the "super-hidden" files thing on Win XP Pro SP1.  Content.IE5 is
not visible unless you ask for it by name, despite "Show hidden files and
folders" being selected and "Hide protected operating system files" unchecked.

Furthermore, when I use the WE GUI to click into the cache folders below
Content.IE5, the Content.IE5 directory entry gets duplicated each time in the
left-hand tree navigation pane.  After just a little bit of poking around, I
now see "Content.IE5" listed SIX TIMES below "Temporary Internet Files".

Gotta love it...
