Can't view downloaded files put in certain folders

Hello,

I've found what I think is a problem with IE9.  I have a .snippet (Visual Studio code snippet file) that I'm trying to download off a Share Point site with IE9 and Win7 x64.  The file is supposed to go in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC#\Snippets\1033\Visual C# location.  The file name is something like _MyFile.snippet (it starts with an underscore character).  On the file on the Share Point site, I do a Send To, Download a copy.  Then I do a Save As an put in the path to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC#\Snippets\1033\Visual C#.  

In the Save As Dialog that opens up, I've quadruple-checked and the path in the Save As dialog is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC#\Snippets\1033\Visual C#" (I copied and pasted the preceding path).  The file name is _MyFile.snippet. I then get prompted that _MyFile.snippet already exists, do I want to replace it.  I say yes.  

If I then open explorer and go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC#\Snippets\1033\Visual C#, I do not see the file (Show hidden files is checked).  I navigate to this folder in cmd.exe and do a dir /a, I do not see the file.  I navigate to the folder in Windows PowerShell and do a Get-ChildItem -force, and I do not see the file.  The only thing that seems to "see" the file is the "Save As" dialog in IE9.  What's up with that?  

I just download it to the myuserprofile/downloads directory and copy it to the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC#\Snippets\1033\Visual C# location, but something is very odd here.

-Eric
