Sounds very bizarre. Never heard of anything like this. ClrMamePro doesn't do anything to the rompath itself. It only fixes files IN rompaths. Maybe you have to refresh the path/view in the explorer window or some other task's hiding it. I have no idea. Try to check if you can change to the folder from a console window.

Start->run->cmd.exe (or command.exe if you're using Win9x/WinME and not Windows2k/XP)
then enter:
c:
cd c:\mame32\roms
dir
