Some news from that:
   - the missing folders contain no accent or any specific character 
that may cause any problem,
   - if I move any of the missing folders into any other less "crowded" 
folder, I can see it and access it without any problem,
   - if I enter the name of the missing folder in the address bar, I can 
also access it without any problem.
   - XP sees exactly the same amount of folders that Vista does,
   - by just creating a new directory (`mkdir test`) in the folder, the 
number of folders seen jumped from 411 to 548.
Thanks in advance for your help!
