The folder is hidden from Explorer by default: to show it, go to Folder Options in Explorer's Tools menu, select View, then find the Hidden Files and Folders entry in the list of advanced settings: change this from "Hide Hidden Files and Folders" to "Show Hidden Files and Folders" and you will be able to see the folder.
