I think that's what my note says :-)

I can even access them from the commandline (cmd.exe).

The only place they do not show is in the Windows Explorer. If I kill and
restart it, they are visible.

Somehow, the Explorer is not updating its status. Are there any kind of
policy settings that might have gotten screwed up?
