HEK reading files that aren't actually there!??!

If I check the main folder (Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition...) The files that are read in Sapian cannot be located. For example, when opening Sapian, I can open a ui.scenario file in the ...Halo Custom Edition\tags\ui folder, but if I were to go there manuallly through My Computer, the ui folder is not there. I'm wondering if there is something I'm missing, maybe hidden folders, or the files being placed somewhere else, (though thats not likely because I've looked back on the file addresses several times) I've even tried deleted the tags and data folders in my Custom Edition root folder, but files can still be accessed (and work!) through Sapian or other HEK files. If anyone knows whats going on, please help! Also, I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium, if that has anything to do with it :\

Yoru not running all yoru files as a adminitrator. When you save not as a admisitrator in somewhere portected like the program files, they dont show up in windows explorer. To make them show up, go in a non ran as a admisitrtor program and copy them to your desktop.

Awesome, thanks for all your help these past couple days! Oh, one more thing. Is it possible to change the camera position on a vehicle? I'm wanting to make a camera point on the Longsword inside the cockpit that will stay there while you fly.

I'm not completely sure, but I think you have to load up the gbx model in max, and move the camera node.
