If you are using a 'user' account and NOT an Administrator account, you can only see folders for the user account you're in. You need to be in an Admin account to see all folders, and then you can move the files in those folders to places where they can be used.

Hi Bud, Many thanks for your reply. Unfortunately it is Admin that they've disappeared from :( Best wishes, Maureen Ps. Apologies if I've replied to you twice. My first reply hasn't appeared yet and I'd prefer to thank you twice then not at all. > If you are using a 'user' account and NOT an Administrator account, > you can only see folders for the user account you're in. > > You need to be in an Admin account to see all folders, and then you can > move > the files in those folders to places where they can be used.
