Folders are "invisible"
Angie:
Hi Maria,
I had something really similar happen to me last year. Everything in my Downloads folder that started with the letters S through Z disappeared. When I tried to replace them, the new files disappeared, too! It's such a weird problem and I totally understand your frustration. Anyway, this is what I did to work around it.
When I made all of the hidden files visible (using advice similar to Simsample's), it turned out there were some weird corrupted quasi-files hiding in my folder. I deleted those using a tool called Unlocker (you can download it for free). Then I created a new Downloads folder and cut and pasted all of my good files into the new folder. I deleted the old Downloads folder with Unlocker, too. Afterwards, I had to redownload everything with a filename starting with S or higher, but almost everything else was okay!
Hope this helps, and good luck!
MsMaria:
Angie, thank you so much for sharing. I will look for the Unlocker and try it. I'm game for anything at this point. I haven't had time to deal with it today, but hopefully I can deal with it tomorrow. If I have to name all of my folders something beginning with 'A', then that's what I'll do, but the problem has to be much deeper than that.
Thank you again for your input. :)
