Hi,
this my first time posting,
I'm in a bit of a jam….
Can anyone tell me what is the icons on this drive?
All the folders with this icon has no files in it and shows no data
what so ever. I marked some red arrows to point out the folder icons.

RTFM!! lol

It's a reparse point on a Vista machine. If you go over to the right in the Table pane you will find the Symbolic link to where it leads to.

JonN is indeed correct, it's also known as a symbolic link in other filesystems.

The particular ones you are looking at are as a result of Vista moving a lot of the standard locations for stored data under an individual user's profile, in order to allow 'legacy' software to reference the old folders, 'links' are created to their Vista equivalent.
