I am new to skydrive, and appear to be missing a set-up or syncing procedure - can you help?

I can create skydrive folders from my Win7 application which can be be viewed and accessed from the web application.  However, if I create a folder in the web application I cannot view it from the Win7 application (Windows Explorer).  

How do I view/open skydrive folders that were created on the web application from my Win7 Windows explorer view?

Thanks!
