[issue13345] Invisible Files in Windows 7

[Martin v. Löwis]

Martin v. Löwis <martin at v.loewis.de> added the comment:

Most likely, you are using a 32-bit Python on a 64-bit Windows. 32-bit programs can't access c:\windows\system32, as that will contain the 64-bit DLLs. Instead, access is redirected to c:\windows\syswow64.

Please confirm whether or not this is the case here also.
