      I just recently noticed this. If I start SU2015, and chose Open File, The program defaults to looking in the My Documents folder. (see Pic)

      In My Documents, the "Open" window displays icons for all the files and folders there. If I then go up one level to my User folder (Nicholas), it again displays all files, folder, etc.(see Pic)

      However, I go up one more level to my Desktop, the "Open" window is blank and nothing is displayed. (see Pic)

      However, If I know the file name and type it in, SU will find and open it.

      This just started recently. I checked, and it does not happen with my other software AutoCad, Corel etc. Ideas anyone? I do believe there was a recent SU2015 up date, and of course Win7 updates. Dot sure when this actually began.

        Your second screen shot doesn't show any files. It shows folders in which SKP files could reside. Are there any files or folders on the desktop or is it only shortcuts to applications?

          My desktop has files, folders, short cuts, etc. Lots of things that should, and used to be displayed. Again, this only happens in SU. I just tried opening and went went through several different paths. All locations displayed their contents until arriving at the desktop, where the window is always blank.
