So when it happens the Downloads folder is the selected node in the tree, right?

In my case that is correct, and User\Downloads in address bar, also doubt this matters, but if you are testing, from memory I have never had it happen with a folder actually named "New Folder", always with other text.

From the next beta onwards, when it happens again, run these two scripts and post the results, please:
exist "Downloads";
exist "%user%\Downloads";

Possibly related issue concerning Downloads folder. I have an actual "Downloads" folder off my G drive G:\Downloads. I also have a link to that folder under Links showing in XY's tree under Links. When I mouse up right click on the icon for the folder (in the tree or list) on the actual "G" drive not the link, XY locks up (not responding) and does not recover (I have to force close it).

Huh? :veryconfused: Checking for "Downloads" should lead to the Real Path "C:\Users\ken\Downloads". There can only be one special folder "Downloads". :eh:

Ken, did you change the location of that folder via right click - properties - location tab?

This "Downloads" link or shortcut is under "Links" in the tree. I do not have "Show downloads folder" checked in Configuration > General > Tree and List > Items in Tree. Show "Links" is the only one I have checked off to show in tree.

Yes highend, I made a bunch of Links under "Links". The right click properties for this Downloads link is "C:\Users\Ken\Links". They all work properly. If I click on Downloads under Links it directly opens "G:\Downloads".

When I enable the Show Downloads folder in tree along with the Downloads link I have under Links, if I click on Downloads under links it sends me to the Downloads link and not the actual G:\Downloads folder. Same thing happens when I click on the XY's provided Download folder Link. When I click on it, it shows the contents of the downloads folder without actually going to the folder in the tree. I'd rather see it go directly to the folder in the tree which is what happens when I click on my "Downloads" link under Links. My "Downloads" link will activate my G:\Downloads permanent tab as well whereas the XY Downloads link opens my default tab.

Edit: I should point out that I also made a Desktop link under the "Links". If I click on it, I'm sent to C:\Users\Ken\desktop in the tree. Whereas, if I check "Show Desktop folder" in Configuration, it displays the contents of my desktop in the list pane without actually going there in the tree similarly to Downloads links. I realize that's the way it is suppose to work, but I kind of like going there in the tree as well as seeing the contents in the list pane. I don't know why this setup should send XY into a tailspin when I Mouse Up on the actual G:\Downloads folder though. :?:

Well, after the above experimenting - checking and unchecking Show Downloads folder and Desktop folder - I'm now back to my original configuration with only Show Links folder checked and the mouse up behavior I reported is working fine. So go figure - strange, but it's now working fine.

I had to go out so I shutdown the computer. I'm back, started Windows, and the issue came back again. Weird, usually reboots fixes issues this one came back after a reboot. The issue only happened once this time and then MU on the Downloads folder started working again. I think I've entered the Twilight Zone.

While you saw the "Location Currently Not Available" message in the list?

No, I never received that message in the list pane now or earlier. I piped in when I thought my issue with XY going unresponsive when I mouse up'ed on my Downloads folder might be related to the OP issue. Evidently it's unrelated.

Well, might be a 3rd party shell extension (since you are going for the shell context menu).

Whatever, I think indeed it's totally unrelated to the original case.
