    Win10 WebCache files are there but don't show. Anyone else?


    I am running Win10/18363 and casually watch the size of my Windows 10 WebCache files. In fact, some time ago I even put a shortcut to that folder on my Desktop. It points to: C:\Users\[me]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WebCache and brings up the individual files in that folder on my screen just fine... no problem there. However, I had another reason to manually go to: C:\Users\[me]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows and noticed that the WebCache folder is not there! Yes, I'm set-up to show all hidden files and folders, but trying to navigate to the WebCache folder manually never reaches it. To get there using Windows Explorer I have to modify the address line to include that particular folder name before I can see the contents. Has there been a change or am I missing something here?

    Well, Callender, that may have been it, all right. BUT... I'm sure I didn't change that tic box between the time I saw the folder and when I didn't. That means that, either an update did it for me, or that WebCache folder wasn't previously categorized as an Operating System type of folder. When I enabled that option to view those OS-related files and folders, a lot of stuff popped up that I can't remember seeing before. I reset the option to hide them, and will rely on my shortcut link to get me to that one I want to keep track of. Many thanks for the 'fix,' although I'm still a bit baffled.
