Okay, another highly non-techy idea. How about copying the "Book" folder somewhere else where it might stay put. Then each time it disappears from Documents, you could copy it back over. Not a solution, but maybe it would save some frustration.

I'd put an MP3 file, a description of how to use a Sampson Haven cell phone in there. I also had that file in Documents on its own. It disappeared with the books folder that it was in. I can copy it and paste it in there again, but I suspect it won't solve the problem.

I get the sense that the folder goes into hiding whenever it's empty of files. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Miriam Vieni Sent: Thursday, February 08, 2018 2:23 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] My wayward Books Folder So the last time I constructed that folder, I looked each day for 3 or 4 days and the folder was sitting there, obediently waiting. Then I downloaded The Newyorker and placed it in the folder. I transferred it to my second gen stream with the companion software because I'm accustomed to transferring and opening books that way. I read the articles I wanted to read. And then later, I was emailing to someone about another issue I had and I remembered the books folder so I checked back to see if it was still in Documents and, lo and behold, it had disappeared.

If you went to your documents folder and then pressed the ctrl spacebar to insure that no folder had the focus. And then pressed the application key and arrowed up to, new and pressed enter. And you pressed return on folder. Then if you typed the name of the folder and you got a new folder with that name. Then you placed an item in that folder and you found that it was there but when you went back later the folder was gone. Well then I think that you might have a poltergeist in your new home.

I followed someone's directions and backspaced or something and it sat comfortably in Documents until I used it yesterday. I transferred The New Yorker magazine into it, and today, when I looked in Documents. The folder was gone. I'd transferred the magazine to my VR Stream so the folder was empty. It seems that each time I put it back in documents, it stays until I use it. After I use it, it disappears. Can anyone make a suggestion? 64 bit, Win7 IE 11, Jaws 18, Office 365.
