I am having a peculiar problem. My Windows folder is not showing any files or folders. Folder Properties showing 0 bytes of space occupied by 0 files, 0 folders. Even various disk space explorer software showing the same thing. However, if I type the full path in the address bar or Run menu of any folder within the Windows folder (e.g. C:\Windows\System32 etc.), explorer is showing the content. However, the Windows folder itself is not showing anything by any means. However system is working properly without any problem.

My OS is Windows XP SP3 with all the latest updates.

What's going on???
