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.
Thanks - just as abruptly as the folder pane stopped appearing automatically, for the last week or more it has been appearing regularly as it did before so I don't know what happened to make it change back. I don't think it was anything I did.

Same, same. Me too. Only just started happening. I can click 'view' but next time I logon it has disappeared again. :(
