And why u want to open this folder? :D
Actually its a system folder and u'll hv to assign permissions to open this folder. Just open its properties and goto "Security" tab and then add "Administrator" and give it proper permissions.

Disable "Simple File Sharing" (or something like that) option in Tools -> Folder Options.
