Help needed on loading templates

I have just run into a problem as follows. My templates just disappear when I click on "load template" They all show in "Profiles" they all show when I click on Templates, but when I click on "Load Template" the box that opens which would normally show them is empty. I have tried system restore twice but it didn't fix it.
If I can't fix this problem the only possibly thing I can think of is to uninstall MT4 download a new one and start from scratch. I hope that I don't have to do that.
Thanks to anyone who can help me.

Try clicking on File then Open Data Folder and open the template folder.
Are there any templates (.tpl files) in that folder ?
It never gets easier, you just get better

Go to file explorer >> View Tab >> and check hidden items.
(this helps to reveal the AppData folder in MT4)

Load your template.
Close the folder.

It then will be visible whenever you need to load your templates.

When you click load template, no matter what folder was used last will show. Just click the no folder to your left as you now have profiles to your right and do your normal way of searching for files till you get templates and once you select templates, all will show as usual.

Thank you for replying. I tried what you suggested but it didn't work. I think that I may have gone wrong and not followed it correctly so I will try again as soon as I have time.

It is working correctly now thanks to your very detailed post. You must have taken quite some time to write them also the screen shots which were a great help.
I would never have been able to correct the problem my self. Thank you for your help.
