I spilled a couple of drops of drink on my keyboard, so I went to clean it. And then...
I looked at my desktop and all the folders had disappeared! The background picture was there but everything else was gone. And I could go from screen to screen and see the folders briefly appear... but then vanish again.
I was SO STRESSED! And this just after I had an emergency root canal done yesterday. Sigh...
But I have the solution - and I feel so silly that I didn't realize this and had to call the tech desk at Apple to bail me out.
All I had to do was force quit the Finder and relaunch it.
EVERYTHING IS BACK! Yay!
(So I'm just putting this here in case I forget how to do this - which I will - when it happens again.)
And to celebrate... here is a little banner for you to download and use.
