res://ieframe.dll/preview.dlg

Open that. Then use View, Source on it. Note that that isn't active
but you should then at least be able to see that file and some of its components
in the TIF Viewer after that.

If you don't have IE7 you could do the same thing with

res://shdoclc.dll/preview.dlg


BTW I wonder if your Folder Options are the problem?
FWIW I have Show hidden files and folders active
(among other options which are designed to keep users oblivious
of XP's implementation.) Note that Folder Options are one
of the options in the TIF Viewer's Tools menu.
