directory created by GitBash doesn't appear in Windows explorer

Question

Hi I'm working with GitBash to create a directory for my project, and then to clone the project from GitHub.com/... But the directory never appeared in Windows Explorer.

To be detailed:

1. I create a directory using mkdir TestForStackOverFlow
2. I clone the project from GitHub.com using git clone https://github.com/udacity/Sunshine-Version-2.git

but i can't access this directory with windows explorer.

Images proving: Before mkdir TestForStackOverflow

After mkdir TestForStackOverflow

Any guess how to fix it? Thanks in advance

Finally was the COMODO firewall (version 6.2.282872.2847) who "auto sandbox" the GitBash without asking me.

I mark C:/Program Files/Git folder as Trusted and everything runs fine!

To do this on COMODO there is the steps:

1. Open COMODO firewall and move to Task by clicking the up-right Icon as showing in the next image (red arrow)

2. In the Task screen choose Shadowbox Tasks and then click Open Advanced Settings

3. In the new window on left menu choose File Rating -> Trusted Files. In the list will appear open the pop-up menu on the bottom of the list (the little up-arrow on the bottom).

4. Choose Add > Folders, navigate to the Git Folder and press OK. Finally press OK to Advanced Settings window.

Try and see if the issue persists when using a more recent bash, namely the one package with the latest git-for-windows (successor to msysgit)

Unzip PortableGit-2.4.4.2-3rd-release-candidate-64-bit.7z.exe and launch its git-bash.exe.
You will be using Git 2.4.4. On Windows.
