Suddenly today my folder pane is hidden by default. I have not changed any settings. I can go to View>Layout>Folder pane>Show and it will pop up but it will disappear if I click anywhere but the folder pane. I need to see the folder pane all the time. How can I change this? (And why did it change itself?)

Thank you for your kind comment. I don't understand why Microsoft "HELP" is so unintuitive and difficult to navigate and find answers to common problems. Make it a great day!
I have been trying to figure this out for two days! Thank you, Wanda -- GENIUS!!!
The next issue is that while it's easy to get them to appear, they sometimes don't stay there. Hopefully they stay there for you now, even after you close, and then reopen the browser. Good luck with it.
I can see the left column after I click on the 3 lines on top ... Thank you
Curious. Did that work for you also Atlaw?
