My previous question was about problems with my mouse. Now I see there is a download arrow on all my desktop folders. If I click on the download arrow it has the hands of a clock and looks like it has downloaded. Now if I double click with my mouse on that file I can open a photo within that folder. I haven't changed anything in my settings. I don't understand what is happening.

A screenshot(s) would help clarify what it is you are seeing...
Are these alias folders?
Or you using iCloud Drive - Desktop and Documents ?
