Recreate the folders with commands like:
(click start, and type

Shell:My Music

Restart to let the folders appear.
Shell folders are displayed with the standard folder icon in Windows Vista:

Right click on the "personal folder"

then select properties and finally "restore former versions"

Hopefully your folders will be there to restore
