title: Why is the folder created on the command line not visible by other programs?
body: <p>I created a folder on my Desktop within the command line on Windows, by using the command <code>mkdir</code>. I also added some files in there by using the command <code>type nul &gt;&gt; fileName</code>.</p>
  
  <p>The folder is there, but two blue arrays appear on its top.</p>
  
  <p>I want to open it on my IDE now.
  I'm using PHP Storm, and I'm trying to open a file inside the folder, but when I do
  <code>file</code> > <code>open file or project</code> > <code>Desktop</code>
  the folder is not visible.</p>
  
  <p>For it was on read-only mode, I have also tried to change such a setting, but nothing changed, I don't know whether or not this is relevant as regards to the issue explained above.</p>
  
  <p>Why a folder created within the command line is not visible by some other program, and how can I solve and avoid the issue in the future?</p>
