The folder info says it's got 8.6 gigs in it, so I'm just baffled.Strangely enough, if I enter the Mavericks icon, ad go to users and desktop, I can open the folder from in there. . . but that's a hassle! Help!
Thanks in advance!

Is there actually 8+GB of stuff in there?
Have you tried deleting the folder and re-downloading?
Have you tried starting up in Safe Mode? Hold down the shift key at start up until you see a progress bar. This mainly disables every startup code from non-Apple sources.
How about a single click (select) on the folder and then use command-O?
Does "Finder" (or any other item) in Activity Monitor show differently when double-clicking that folder as opposed to drilling down from your HD?

The folder was over on the external, and all I had to do was pull it back over to the small screen. What tipped me off was that my Mail window was over there when I fired the 'puter up this morning. . .

There's a TS emoticon for that! 
Glad you figured it out, I was really grasping at straws since I had no idea why Finder would seem to operate differently at different times.
