Thank you Daniel.

   I was sitting staring at it this morning … and BING (light globe
   moment).
   Stacks was switched on.
   Must have happened when I installed the OS upgrade a few days ago.

   Hi Stephen,
   It sounds like you may have “Stacks” turned on.
   To disable that, from the Finder go to the View menu and most likely
   “Use Stacks” will have a tick beside it. Select it again, so the tick
   goes away. This will then stop “auto-grouping” of files.
   Kind regards
   Daniel

      Hi folks.
      A new desktop folder has appeared on my iMac screen.
      Each time I copy a PDF file from email to desktop it is inserted in
      this folder.
      The folder is called “PDF Documents”.
      How can I get rid of this folder and stop this automation please ?
