In Vista/7 users' requests to write to some protected areas are virtualized
depending on the app's integrity level. In explorer or from the command
interpreter using dir you won't see those files. This isn't a wget issue. As
other posters have said change your working directory to an area that is not
protected, eg C:\Users\USERNAME\Downloads or something.
