System32 Folder dissapeared !!!

[Guest]

On Windows XP, the folder "C:\WINDOWS\system32" dissapeared so i can't use
command in the run box like "cmd", "regedit" or even Ctrl+Alt+Del. But the
folder still exist: if I type "C:\WINDOWS\system32", I can access to the
folder but I can't access it by Explorer. System32 is still in WINDOWS but
it's like if it was in a different "dimension" of WINDOWS. I can't restore
the folder because the foler still exist ! The folder is not corrupted too
because I can still use the programs in it. So what can I do exept restoring
my system ?

Make sure that the SYSTEM32 folder is in the PATH under Control Panel
