Whether it was from cleaning my registry or from uninstalling OpenOffice or installing MS Office 7 Beta, it was gone. I tried to access it every way possible, the folder read "empty". However, the good old internet stikes again, this saved me!
Good find slowday
If you've got or had corrupt files due to a system lockup or whatever on your hard disk and run chkdsk there's a chance it can cause it, as can system restore. I just spent two days finding all the corrupt files on my system after the AntiVir uninstaller locked up the whole system.
