Doing a search reveals that both my C drive and E drive (Maxtor external
hard drive) have the folder Application Data.

I have chosen under Folder Options to allow all files to be shown.
Indeed, all files appear for the C drive, but not all appear on the E drive.

What can I do to have to do to view the E drive hidden files?

Perhaps the folder on E: is in a zip or backup file? XP Search will list
contents of zip files and some other file types that it perceives as zip
files.
