How do I open just one file to edit?
Whenever I open the program, it always shows my last upload folder.
I just can't work it out so I am using Elements 5 again!

You need to import the photo before any editing...

If the images are already in the correct place on your computer, when you import you can select the Add option, and it will add the images you select to your catalogue without moving them or copying them.
If your images are on your camera, you could use the Move option instead.
Lightroom does not show the images as they are on your filesystem as such - it records various bits of data relating to the images, and displays entries in the catalogue based on that information. It means that Lightroom can do things such as create virtual copies of images without making a copy of the original source file, for example.

Well, good for you. I've tried it several times, never could make heads or tails of it, so I just went back to Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro. I've been happy with these, cuz they do everything I need -- and a whole lot more.

I never used Lightroom (only PS), but I am also very old school and procedural in my way of thinking:
- I open a program (yes, program, not APP  )
- In the program I then go to file -> open
- I then browse in a proper directory/file browser for the file I want (you can't fold a directory, so folders don't really exist  )
- I do whatever operations I need to do on the file
- I then go to file -> save as
- I then browse in a proper directory/file browser and give the file an appropriate new name
- And save
This is just about the only logic my brain can work with 
Once a program automatically starts organising things in "projects" and behind-the-scenes hidden library structures I feel like throwing my computer out the window.
Yes, I'm a dinosaur. Before the meteor everything really was better, and comfortably slow...

Since retiring in December I have had a bit of time to persevere and I am now accomplished in the use of Lightroom (enough to do my 2 minute edits, anyway). I have also began home processing film (B&W so far, but C41 will come soon). Recently I started a film photography vlog on youtube, too (though I must admit video editing isn't really my forte), so I am beginning to feel a bit more "modern".
