Problem with system32 folder became a "System files" folder?

I was injured by a virus, but I killed it myself. But the virus change my system32 folder into "system files" folder, which I have to uncheck "hide protected operating system files" to be able to see it. I am sure it was normal before I accidently executed the virus. How do I change it back?

Thanks.

Right click on your "system files" folder and select rename, then rename it to system32.

Are you asking how you do it or another way to do it because the above doesn't work?

Sorry, missunderstanding. The "System files" I mentioned is not the name, is the type. Just like you can change file type into "Hidden," so it became hidden. But the virus change my system32 folder into type of system files. So I couldn't access the files inside by cmd.exe. And system files will lock the hidden feature as shown in the picture.

Try typing; 'attrib -R -S -H %systemroot%\system32' into cmd.exe and see if you have any luck, (that should remove the system, hidden and read-only properties from the folder).
