Can't even see folder with lock icon!

I downloaded a zip file from a webpage, creating a new folder for the

purpose. When I go to unzip the file, I can't find the folder. I go

back to the webpage to download again, and it tells me I already have

the file, but I notice now there is a "folder with lock" icon next to

the folder I created. This folder isn't visible at all in Windows

Explorer, no matter what options I choose. (And the User I am logged

in as has full administrator privileges.)



How do I take ownership of this folder? I'm stumped!

When you try to download the file again what is the path to the file shown

across the top of the download dialog window.?

The same folder (with lock icon), and it even says that the file is

already there, but I can't find the file--and I look at the entire

path, including drive letter.
