I think I've accidentally stumbled across an answer to this problem. I don't know about the previous posters, but I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 and like the posters before, I had the issue of libraries and library folders that I had created in Eagle being invisible in Windows Explorer.
However, when opening one of my "empty" library folders (Computer/Local Disk C:/Program Files/Eagle 6.5.5/lbr/My Collection/ in my case), I noticed in the menu bar of the explorer window the legend "Compatibility files". Out of desperation, I clicked it and lo and behold - there are all my missing .lbr files on display!
I can double click them, to start Eagle Control Panel and the library editor, copy them or just about anything else with them meaning I can move them to an always visible folder.
I believe this to be an XP legacy thing. I'm used to programs having to run in compatibility mode under Windows 7, but this is the first time I've come across individual folders/files with this attribute.
Hope that helps
