Where is my video clip

I installed "exposed" on my computer. (its a progam for finding files on your computer) now when I run this progam to find video files, up comes a list of the ones it has found. It also states where the file is located. This is what I dont understand, cos when I go to the location that the video clip is suppose to be in, it is empty, no video clips, in fact no files at all show up. Seems strange cos the clip can actually be played from the "exposed" progam so I know it is on the computer somewhere.
This is the address it gives for some of the clips:
Temporary internet files\content.IE5.\UQM550y\"name of video clip".MPEG
But when I go to this location, there is no video clip there in fact no files of any kind showing.
Even when I empty the temporary internet files folder, the clip still shows up when I run "exposed" and still plays from that progam. SO how do I find the clips so that I can place them in a folder where I know I can find them.
Some of the other video clips it finds are in the folder where it tells me they are in but some are not. Can anyone throw any light on the subject.

Could the files be hidden?

go to >start>program files>windows explorer>view>folder options >view and check to see if the option to see hidden files is checked or not checked......if checked uncheck it and you will be able to see all hidden files.......
another way is to go to >start>find>files and folder>look in (correct drive) or( my computer) for the file(s) and click ok...you might have to type in the wildcard *.* before or after the name of the file to help find it ....hope this helps...Dick
