CRASH Oddity - No Windows Folder

Im running windows 98SE.... Ive had no problems at all.
I still do not have any problems, but there is something thats bugged me for awhile now, as I just recently noticed it, and it was not like this before.
There is no WINDOWS folder. I can use explorer and cannot even see it then. Ive gone in there before and do quite a bit to clean out my temp file and to save my IE favorites onto backup.
But this is very very odd to me to not even see my windows file at all. I know there is such a thing as hidden files. but I dont think this is the case.
Has anyone ever heard of such a thing happening?? I sure would like to get access to my windows folder again,
Any help and tips on this matter are greatly appreicated.
Stumped??????

Click on your start button and choose "search" and then go to "find files and folders" Type in "windows" and click "search" The folder has to be there, it probably got dragged into another folder somehow. If it shows up, just drag it back to the "c" directory.

It'll be there, somewhere, probably right where it belongs or your computer wouldn't run.
Open Explorer, select View, Folder options, View, and check to see what you have visible and hidden...

I'm guessing that it's hidden.
