So Ed, the problem is solved. Even though I had made no changes to powerdesk, the cumulative update on Tuesday seems to have given it
priority over the two other programs (and maybe others), but
uninstalling fixed it and reinstalling it didn't break it.

Details follow.

files/folders have multiple datestamps, if you view properties, you see
the created timestamp rather than modified

Oh, yeah. The creation date is June 23.

I don't know why that date... There were Cumulative Updates on June 20
and June 26, but nothing on June 23,

It's pretty amazing to me that not just files get replaced but
directories get replaced and reloaded, even "my own" user directories.
Would that not mean if I were to save something of my own in one of
those directories, it would get deleted and lost during a system update?
As to the bigger problem, I was waiting for another Windows update and KB5062553 25-06 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 came yesterday, just
two days after I noticed and installed he previous one. I installed it
today but it had no effect on my appwiz or RecycleBin. So I unchecked
he box in PowerDesk, pdexp.exe, that said Replace MS Explorer and that
had no effect. So I uninstalled PowerDesk and appwiz etc. worked fine
again.

So PowerDesk really did hijack those two functions even though it just
sat there. I'm sure it was the Cumulative Update I installed on Tuesday
that did it. Although I can't figure out how it did it.

I had to reset all the PowerDesk settings. Some programs save that
stuff, right?, for when you reinstall, but maybe this one does not
because it was a free version of something they also sold.

Anticipating this, I tried to find and save the settings. There is an
ini file but it only has 3 lines in it, the usage count (to know when to
nag me to buy a copy), the Date, and the SplashDate. The new
installation doesn't have SplashDate, and all the dates are 32 coded alphabetic characters, which is a lot more than the 8 numbers it takes
to give a date. I don't know why they encode the dates anyhow.

BTW, the copyright on this free version 5 is 2002, but it's free
forever, if anyone wants me to send them a copy. IIRC correctly it was written by another company that VCOM bought. OTOH, currently their
page for PowerDesk https://www.vcom.com/power-desk-pro , just says for
Win 7, 8, and 10. So no one is updating it for 11, and the copy I bought
and returned for 10 had 2 big flaws. OTOH, v.5 had no flaws in 10, and
and so far, none in 11,
