Why am I unable to search for the folder which I know is present (in Vista)?

Or... what exactly is this "Compatibility Files" folder icon doing in my Windows Explorer??

Jerry's Blog explains this stuff beautifully!

So, why am I blogging about this?

Well... to cut the long story short, I have lost almost 3 hours yesterday searching for some files/folders to fix an issue with one of my software which had a corrupted cache folder. The support professionals asked me to delete some specific folder along with a couple of files, and I was not able to find them... no matter how much I searched. In the end, when I clicked on Compatibility Files, I found that the address bar changed as follows... and the files were right there! Honestly, it felt as if those files were giving that mocking smile at me Embarrassed!!
