How to permanently show Folder pane

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?)

    I thought selecting "show" pane would solve it, but it didn't. Did not find this answer anywhere.

    ** Here's the deal. I finally figured it out. Under the HOME tab, there is a button "Toggle Left Pane" - click on it and the folder pane will stay open.

    Hope this helps.

    Thank you so much Wanda....this has been driving me mad, since I use my folders all the time!

    Tried it. Still disappears when I click on my reading pane.
