Don't reformat.. ignore Grant.. see if there is a program online to unlock folders. I had a similar problem on vista on my laptop, but that was deleting a folder.

or maybe another program is already in use, or you have had something in that folder previously .. and it was harmful to your computer.

All i can say is.. create a new folder copy everything over to the new folder and set the old folder to hidden, then it would look like the folder has dissapered
