Okay, what the heck is going on here? (DOS Dir command)

I expect a log file to show up in a certain folder. It's not showing in Explorer, and it's not showing if I DIR *.LOG in the folder. But if I go up a few levels, then it shows in a DIR /S.

Observe this output from my elevated DOS session:

Code:


C:\Users\AFabris\Source\Workspaces\SendBus\Development\TaskScheduler\ProcessSalesEmailsTask\bin\Debug>dir /s *.log
 Volume in drive C is Windows
 Volume Serial Number is 56E5-5398

WHAT THE HECK?

Why doesn't the file appear until I've moved up a few directory levels?!?!?!?

This isn't a timing thing, this is consistent. File is not flagged as "hidden" or "system" anthing that I know about.

WTF?
