Running LM 17,3. I used to be able to go to Menu>Places>Downloads, and the system would go to Downloads, but no more. Why?
I can though access Downloads through the Home folder. Just want to know what i have screwed up, and how to fix it.

Re: access download folder
Does Downloads show up under Places? If not right click on Menu and select Preferences. In the Menu Preferences window select the Places tab. On the right side select New. In the New Place window enter Downloads in the Name box. For Path click on the folder icon. In the Select a folder window select the Downloads folder and click OK.
If Downloads shows up under Places but clicking on it doesn't go anywhere then perhaps the path needs to be fixed as above.
If this doesn't work then someone else will have to help you.
