if you cannot see your photos..create a winrar archive folder and open it then find your drive in the search bar..the click it..all the files of your drive will show including the viruses if you have..copy the link where the the location of your photos and paste it to search bar of you drive..

I’m back again..

@Fab in your case i think it’s a virus. The virus hides the folder DCIM and replace a shortcut DCIM which call the exe virus located in recycle bin that you deleted. Now the DCIM shortcut won’t work.

Try these:
run cmd or command console
click Start > Run (in wiondows xp in windows vista just type in the search bar)

In run window type cmd.

in cmd or command console type the drive letter of your camera:

C:\>Documnents and Settings\User>E: (hit enter)

so it will look like this after hitting enter

E:\>

type attrib -r -h -s “DCIM” (hit enter)
or
type attrib -r -h -s DCIM (hit enter)

And see if the folder is restored.

i had only one file on my camera which was the DCIM which was turned into a shortcut (at this time i could still open the photos) when i turned on the hidden files i found RECYCLER which i deleted, but now the shortcut can,t open cmd anymore, (which is good right) but now i deleted that shortcut DCIM i can,t find my photos anymore, they do show up on the camera, any idea how to get them back on computer and is my sdcard now virusfree?

does this make any sense?
thanks in advance
