disappearing catalog list in custom location selection box

I recently was in manage catalogs : custom locations where I had four catalogs and clicked out to My Catalog.  When I came back to select one of the custom location catalogs, the list was gone.  How do I search for the list of missing catalogs.  They ar not located in the default position for catalogs.

What OS and version of Elements are you using?

Use the Browse button to navigate to the folder in the custom location.

Alternatively, to open the catalog in the custom location, find the folder and double click on the file named catalog.pseXXdb (where XX is the version number of Elements that created the catalog).  The catalog will open in the Organizer.

Thanks for your reply.  Win11 and PSE 2020.  Your reply enabled me to find the catalog and I was able to double click on the catalog file and just as described it opened in the organizer.   All of my catalogs were repopulated, in the custom locations and all are now available and working.  Thank-you so very much for your assistance
