accedental deletion while having multiple items selected. if you havent done anything else try loading up a restore point and maybe it will reset the folders. im not sure about this though. * +

Restoring wont work and if I'm reading your post right, you wouldn't be able to restore because you no Windows anymore? Am I right? You can only re-install Windows again. How it got deleted is a mystery. Specifically system folders got deleted * +

hisd windows program files, meaning c:program files not c:windows. you cant accedently delete c:windows a lot of the files are read only so it would stop you b4 you finished. so no your reading it wrong. looks to me like he deleted a user acount that took the program files folder with it. * +

The only way you can delete the windows installation folder is by booting from an external disk ,mounting the hard drive then delete.otherwise it wouldn't delete itself.either you or someone with access to your PC did it. * +

strange though as a lot of them files are also read only and you would have to confirm deletion with each error. so eather sum1 deliberatly deleted them, a virus ripped apart your file system or part of the registry has been corrupted/deleted * +
