Incorrect File Names in Documents Library

A problem has recently cropped up on my Windows 7 machine. When I open the "Documents" library, it does not show the combined view of My Documents and Public Documents. It shows a list of files, but no folders. Not all of my files are shown, just some of them. However, the file names are correctly linked, in that if I delete one, that file is deleted. If I "open file location" from the library, the correct folder opens.

I've included screen captures of the Documents, My Documents, and Public Documents libraries. You'll notice that I have a second hard drive (F:) where all of my documents are stored.

What happened? How do I fix this?

Okay, maybe I wasn't clear enough. When I click on the "Documents" library, all it shows is some of the files that are in subfolders on the F: drive. It should show all of the folders and files that are in the root directory of the F: drive. Instead, it does not show any of the folders that are actually in the root directory of the F: drive, rather is shows some (but not all) of the files that are located in sub-folders several levels down from the root directory of the F: drive. What it should be showing is a combined view of the "My Documents" and the "Public Documents" libraries. So it's not a grouping issue. It's an issue of the "Documents" view showing things that are NOT in the root of the "Documents", and NOT showing ANY of the files and folders that actually are in the root.

If I click on the "My Documents" or "Public Documents" libraries, they display correctly. It's only the combined view that's messed up.

In response to ThrashZone, I right-clicked on Libraries and selected "Restore default libraries." Nothing changed.

Hope you don't mind the interruption...
A few things I noticed in the first screen print in Post #1.

The icon for Documents (F) is not the normal folder icon.
What is that icon and does it mean something ?

There is a file named --------.---
What is a --- File Type ?

There is a _HPGRVS.EXE file.
From what I found this may be something from a Torrent.

I don't know if any of this affects the way Libraries work...
Back to lurking.

When I do a Group by Folder, nothing happens, because there are NO folders shown in the combined "Documents" library, even though there are lots of folders in the "My Documents" and "Public Documents" libraries. The only thing showing in the combined "Documents" library view is some of the files that are buried several folder levels down. No folders from either the "My Documents" or "Public Documents" are shown. The folders are shown in the individual library views though. The "My Documents" library is located on the root of the F: drive, while "Public Documents" is located in the standard location, C:\Users\Public\Documents.

DavidW7ncus,

I'm getting ready to go out for the evening. I'll look into your comments later. Thanks for noticing. You gave me an idea.
