Make sure you have the Advanced view (not Basic view) enabled in the Object Browser. Also, make sure you have the Show hidden members option enabled.

BTW, information on settings which affect the Object Browser can be found in the Settings That Affect the Object Browser Display help topic.

This does activate the hidden panel as you suggested, but, unlike a real user who is using the system, once the panel is finished with, I cannot close it.
