You've been given the reason why you're having problems by Michael in this
thread. Here's a very detailed explanation by MVP Jimmy Brush of the Vista
folder hierarchy:

"Many folders used by earlier versions of Windows have been moved to a new
location or given a new name in Windows Vista. However, the old folders
can still be seen if you have enabled Show Hidden Files. Notice they are
displayed with a transparent icon and a shortcut symbol.

SNIP.............

Excellent answer. I had this same "problem" today after I played around
with my Folder Options. I just reset things to the default settings (esp.
not to "show hidden files...") and all is well now. I thought I found my
first bug in my Premium version, but not yet. Great OS!
