(Emacs 24.3.1 i386-mingw-nt6.1.7601 of 2013-03-17 on MARVIN)
Emacs dired of C:Windows/System32/config
displays only the directories:
- '..'
- 'systemprofile'
- '.'
- 'TxR'
- 'RegBack'
- 'Journal'
in the directory.
Windows Explorer displays 33 other files, mostly ".LOG", ".LOG1" or ".LOG2" files, but also
- SOFTWARE
- DEFAULT
- SYSTEM
- SAM
- BCD-Template
- COMPONENTS{[hash]}
- ...
My original suspicion was that the content of that directory is accurately displayed by dired (i.e. the files are not really there) but a cygwin ls -al shows the files that dired does not display. Is this one of Windows7 misdirections or is my Emacs config wrong or ...?

anddired-omit-extensions
? What is the value ofdired-listing-switches
