Explorer bar "Downloads" link under favourites does not work
Hi
One of our users on Windows 7 64-bit came to us recently with an issue trying to load their desktop from the "Desktop" link in the explorer bar under favourites. The link loaded and empty folder and the search bar started to progress across the top (green bar). It didn't load. Upon browsing to c:\users\username\desktop they could view their desktop icons fine. Weird.
This has now happened to me today but with the "Downloads" link. I created a new shortcut on my desktop to test and that worked fine. It started working again after a short while but has stopped all together. If I do the same, browse to c:\users\myusername\downloads it doens't work either! (but it did earlier) so now I can't get into my downloads folder at all through explorer. If I use CMD I can see the contents of this folder are still there.
As I'm writing this, I've just tried to go back to c:\users\myusername\downloads and it did load eventually.
This is a really random issue - anyone else experienced the same?
