Thanks for the response. This is odd. I have never seen this before: in importing material from old computers it has remained on the top level of the disc, never hidden behind the user. Nor did I move anything to do this. So I'm surprised, but now I've found my way around, I'm ok! It doesn't seem I've lost data in this move, which has also been a merger.
