I can't see the top of your folder list from the image you posted so I can't tell if the parent folder to those shown is there or not. If not, try this - right click on any of your folders and select Show Parent Folder. Now you should be able to collapse all of those shown into the parent.

Check out Canson Infinity Rag Photographique...I've used that paper in 210 gsm and found it excellent with an Epson printer. Don't know how it prints w/an HP. It's a really flat matte. Smallest size is 8.5 x 11 at about a buck a sheet, and you should be able to get a couple 5x7's per sheet.
