Add a new folder

Right-click to add a new folder; only option given is a compressed folder.

Previously, the option was for a normal folder. I've used this feature regularly.  Something changed as today the regular folder no longer appears in the drop-down menu.

How to get back to normal?

You have installed chrome? It's looking like a recent update of Chrome is responsible. If you want to remove Chrome and restart to test, please do. To fix it without removing chrome, here are your options.

  • I used to be able to add new files in libraries by clicking on the tab 'add a new folder '. Now it does not work.

    When I go to the library to add a new folder, it does not work.  I used this method, many, many times with no problems.  I have not tried to add a new folder in about a month, I think.  I clicked on the file I want to add a subfolder to do a right click.  He asked new portfolio name.  I find that odd because I have this experience only on my desktop and my laptop.

    What should I do to return to the method to add a new folder?

  • Could not add the new folder to a new Library_Windows 7

    I get a dialog box that shows the following notification (see below) whenever I try to add a folder to the new library in Windows 7. I tried to get to a point where the notification is not display and add a folder to the newly created library but I am unable to.

    Dialog box:
    C:\Users\my name\Documents\ Embroidery\New Classes_Digitized adorable folder refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer... could have been moved to a different location.
    This new library is not related to the classes cunning. I create a library of classes adorable some time ago and added a new folder. I don't have to use the library and so I removed it. Probably not the right way to remove a library and thus the reason for the problem earlier. Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Right click on the folder you want to make a new folder under, select new folder.
    I suggest that make you records like this under local folders and keep the Inbox for what it is designed for. Short term storage of incoming mail.

  • why I can't add a new folder under windows 7 windows explorer, but I cannot add a new compressed folder?

    When I right click and select 'New' there is no option to select a new folder, just a new compressed folder. It is in the Windows7 windows Explorer. So I can't create a new folder.

    You have installed chrome? It's looking like a recent update of chromium may be the cause. Here are two patches.

  • How can I add a new folder to "my network places"?

    I have several folders on my local network that appear when I click on "my network places".  I need to add another folder for the documents in 2011 and don't know how to do it.

    Just share the extra folder.

    To share a folder in XP, right-click and select sharing and security > sharing tab > and equip a check share this folder on the network and, possibly, to allow the network users to change my files. Enter a share name > apply > OK. Simply share the highest level folder, for example not each subfolder. A small hand should appear on the icons of the folders. You can also drag the files you want to share the Shared Documents folder.

  • Add the new entry name of folder of bookmarks does not

    (There's a reason I'm fool the previous thread on this subject, as well as my response to this: I couldn't find a way to add FireFox 10.0.2 to the tags of the thread.) If the thread tags may be edited/added, I wouldn't highlight problems with FireFox 10.0.2 by launching this new thread.)
    RE add new bookmarks folder, can not enter the name of the new folder:

    I am now having this problem with FireFox 10.0.2, 11/03/2012

    When I click on add a folder, a new folder appears in the tree view and the folder name field is highlighted for the entry. But when I start to type characters in the field, I can only type 1 or 2 characters at the most seized stops accept input. I then go to the bookmarks menu, locate the new folder, right-click it, click Properties and complete the registration of the name of the folder.

    At worst, the folder name field will cease to accept entry as soon as I type the first tank, in which case the name of the folder will remain as "new folder." I find the new folder in the bookmarks menu to change the name, as described above.

    It is very annoying because it adds a number of additional steps just to add a new folder in the bookmarks menu. Add the new folder through the "Show all bookmarks" and navigate through the folder hierarchy are an alternative workaround, but that records all the steps.

    Any ideas or solutions?

    Hi John99,
    It has worked well in Mode without failure. Thanks for the suggestion!

    I'm going offline a bit to understand what add-on, plugin, etc., could be causing it. In the meantime, I have marked your suggestion to use Mode safe as useful so that anyone else coming here could get the clue.

    I should probably drop another line in the thread for the guy who in (or has been) using FireFox 7...

    I'll post my results if I can understand it.

    UPDATE:

    I went after any add-on which had nothing to do with bookmarks.

    It was the first add-on I tried, SortPlaces 1.9.1 that automatically sorts bookmarks in various ways according to the parameters. When I disabled it, the problem disappeared.

    I re-enabled it and checked the options to see if I could understand why she was stop to add the new folder. In the 'Options' tab, there is a time limit for how long interval SortPlaces will wait before you sort a bookmark changed or added. It was set to 3 seconds.

    It is not long enough for old men by typing the new name of folder. I put it in 10 seconds. Then, I created a new folder of bookmarks and start typing a name long nonsense, while I looked at the clock. After that 10 seconds it stopped accepting the entrance, right on the mark. What this hidden for me earlier, it was that when he stops to accept input, you don't see the new folder to place in the position of sorting on the menu add a folder. You will see that if you expand the folder later. It's probably why I didn't connect the two.

    Anyway, problem solved. I'm leaving the delay to 10 seconds. If I ever need to be longer, I'll just increase it.

    Thanks again for the suggestion of Mode safe and enjoy the next season of mud.

  • «Add 'New folder' to right click context menu»

    While downloading or installing a new program, etc. I click often on the 'Browse' button provided to select a location to save the file to see that there is no provision for the creation of a new folder on the selected drive, so I have no choice, but to save the file in the root directory. Is it possible to add a "New folder" option in the right-click menu

    You tell me, when you right-click you don't see 'New' in the pop-up box?
    Please click my link to the screenshot and take a look:

    After that you have come to the desired location > right-click inside the open space of the folder > click New > click the folder.
    Now, you have created a new folder.

  • Button to create the new folder is missing in Explorer

    The button new folder exists when I browse through the directories to backup certain file. But in normal mode, the Explorer of Windows Vista has not no any button to create the new folder. It is present in Windows XP and Windows 7. Is it possible to bring back this button in windows Explorer in Windows Vista.

    There is a third party software bxNewFolder which adds a "New folder" button in the toolbar of Windows Explorer. It also provides a hotkey (F12) to quickly create a new folder in Explorer. However, she runs whenever you start the computer, the installation needs administrative privileges and uninstall requires a reboot. It is a Browser Helper Object (BHO)

    I suggest that you just use "Alt + FWF" keyboard shortcuts in Explorer, the new folder appears instant ready to rename.
