"The reason is unknow to me but the fact is that folder are not actually converted into file. The exe files of each folder name are created and folder are set hidden.

I recovered my folders by setting their attributes unhidden.

Follow these steps:

Click start--->Run

Type CMD----> press enter

Change driver by typing drive letter following "":"" symbol
now set folder attributes as below example:

attrib My Document -s -h

here you can replace ""My Document"" folder name with yours..."
