All My Desktop Folders Disappeared... BUT ...!

This'll teach me to eat and drink around my computer.

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.

Adding in the ¢ sign on a Mac

Okay, just so that I remember this...

Adding in a "Cents" ¢ sign in Powerpoint on a Mac.... it's easy if you know how.

Just hold down the "ALT" key (labeled "alt option"  to the left of the command key) and then press the number 4 key.

It makes no ¢¢¢ to me, but that's how it's done. ;)
