WAD "Pictures" directory is empty in TCC but not in CMD or Explorer

[mwb1100]

When I look at my "Pictures" directory/folder in cmd or Explorer, all my expected files are there. When I look at it with TCC (Ver 23.00.30) there is only a desktop.ini file (hidden). I'm running Win7 SP1 x64 in case that matters.

I thought this might have something to do with Windows making directories under the "Users" directory a junction point, but "Pictures" doesn't seem to be one of those.

Here is what I see in cmd:

I'm hoping that this isn't something more serious than user error.

Not reproducible here (w/Windows 10)- anybody else seeing this?

Are you running this from the same console session (i.e., with the same user / permissions etc.)?

I'm hoping that this isn't something more serious than user error.

You're in c:\Users\burrm in CMD, but C:\Users\mburr in TCC.

You're in c:\Users\burrm in CMD, but C:\Users\mburr in TCC.

Oh man - I figured I was probably doing something dumb, but that must win some sort of prize. Thanks for catching it.

Heh, no problem. :)
