[BaseCamp] can you determine in which folders various POIs are kept by viewing MY COLLECTION?

That appears to be what happened, then.  The Folder got deleted enmass by
the computer glitch but some of the waypoints/POIs didn't go so willingly
and are hanging around in MY COLLECTION.

The lesson I learned through all this isn't about how BaseCamp works, but
rather that I need to do backups more often.
