Sure. It's due to the 'desktop.ini' file within the assembly folder, which
affects the way explorer.exe presents it to you. Delete that file and you'd
get the standard view. You may wish to make a copy of it first as a backup,
if you try that.
#To see the contents of the file
get-content -force "C:\Windows\assembly\desktop.ini"
NB You'd need to run the above command from an elevated command prompt, if
you're using Vista
