Check your NTFS security settings. If it tells you you don't have rights, go
into advanced, and change the owner of the folder to yourself. Then you should
be able to see the rights, contents etc.

This kind of thing can happen when the folder loses track of who it's owned by,
or that Administrator no longer has access to it....
