Hi Ronni Thanks for the suggestions. When I go to user/home folder, nothing shows, only a spinning wheel in the bottom corner.
Also, Documents folder and other sub-folders show nothing, only spinning wheel. When I tried your 3. below, nothing showed, so couldn’t remove plist.: 3. When the View options opens, check ?Show Library Folder?. > That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. > Nothing showed Fortunately, Path Finder is operating OK. Any other advice greatly appreciated.
