Could it be as simple as your folder settings in Windows? I'm still running Windows XP on my PC. Not sure if this will be the same steps for you if you're running something else. Connect your phone to the computer and explore it. In the explorer window, go to the Tools menu, select Folder Oprions, go to the View tab and look for the Hidden Files and Folders folder...make sure that you've selected "show hidden files and folders" I know it's old school, but it's worth checking out if you haven't already done so.
