By some stroke of my mice, I cleared the Internet Download folder but do not know how? I checked preferences in my browsers and that was not the problem.

Fortunately, I had this folder backed up. My concern is that I will do it again...any thoughts for this switcher?

Are you sure you cleared the actual download folder, or did you just perhaps clear the list of downloaded files in your web browser?

No...the folder was clear except for files downloaded the last 24 hrs. My downloads mostly come from AOL via E-mail or Safari.
The missing (or cleared files) came from both. I wonder if there is popscreen when downloading files which you can click to clear?

FORGET MY MESSAGE...found the folder buried in another folder that I was moving to Trash. Should have used the Find command quicker...My Goof! Me and my mice done bad!
