Hi LadySidhe, it sounds like all the folders "collapsed" but you should be able to expand them again. Could you try expanding the listed folders using one of these methods:

  • Double-click the folder
  • Click the little > symbol to the left of the folder
  • Click the first folder, then using the keyboard, arrow down to select and arrow right to expand the folder

Any luck?
