Does your assembly folder show contents?

I installed Visual C# .net 2003 Standard and the c:\windows\assembly folder
will not let me view the contents using XP. At the dos prompt I can see all
the files and directories. Just not inside XP using different file managers,
one of them Explorer. It shows this:
c:\windows\assembly\download
Crazy!

Thanks for any kind of reply as I am kind of hanging here.

I wish it were that simple of a fix. I have that enabled. I work with
system files quite a bit and I have never seen this before.

Thanks though. That would have been a fix.

And in the right pane it shows the assemblies installed in what is now
called the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) right?

I had no intention on touching that directory, I am just concerned that I
cannot view it. It just shows another directory named "download" in it.
When I uninstalled .net and everything pertaining to it that directory
stayed there.

When .NET is installed the directory "Assembly" contains the GAC, when you
open this folder, in the right pane you should see all assemblies currently
stored in the GAC.

From dos I see several directories inside assembly, including GAC. From
inside XP using Explorer and Powerdesk-5 I see one folder named download.
Something is very strange. Also when I install the 2004 DX9 SDK, the
extensions won't show on the .net opening screen of included software. I
have reinstalled XP and it changed nothing.
