Mine do show up, but it is because the folders are marked with the "hidden"
attribute and I have Explorer set so that hidden files are displayed.
These folders hold the Web pages and graphic files that are downloaded by
Internet Explorer so that when you return to a page you have already been
to you do not have to again download the file from the Web -- they are
already on your hard drive and are available for display from the cache.
