[@TypicalSullyEditz]

Thanks dude your the best

[@maryfrench8071]

Great video. I followed along as best I could (totally computer illiterate!) but the word Templates already had a yellow box (not white) and was last modified at 2:44AM on 4/5/21 which was when all my problems began! Started with a McAfee scan and went rapidly downhill from there. So now what do I do? Any suggestions, thoughts, observations? I am desperate!!

[@alteregoagm]

What if I already have a folder and not the blank icon? I'm afraid of deleting it

[@kbcomputerrepairs9953]

Yes you can delete the folder, and create a new one with the same naming, the templates of word, excel etc will be created when you start the application.
