Cannot creat new folders in Windows 7 Home Premium

I am running Windows 7 Home Premium. For some time, I was not able to create new folders. The only option under New's case, among other things, that I never use. I was using Dell DataSafe Online and after several months of backups without a hitch, he began to make files and folders disappear whenever he did a backup, although I could find them with a search. When I tried to create a new folder with the same name that the old man he would find the old one, ask if I wanted to merge them, and another would disappear as well. Over time, the option create a folder disappeared also.

I tried the suggestions here:

No solution.

Can anyone help!

When you do research, you see the path to the folder? Can drag you the folder to another location, such as desktop or My Documents?

Make sure that the folder is not hidden. Right-click on it and select Properties.

In addition, enable hidden files.

In Windows Explorer, Win + E key, tools | Folder options | View. Show Hidden files, folders, or drives.

  • I cannot create new folders in Windows 7

    It seems that I've lost the ability to create new folders using Windows 7.  Here are the details of my system:

    Computer: Dell Latitude E6330
    Processor: Intel Core i7 - 3520M
    System: 32 bit OS
    OS: Windows 7 Professional

    Here's what I've tried so far:
    (1) tried to make a right click on the desktop, without any available menu options (Failed)
    2) tried to create a new folder in Windows Explorer using the new folder (Failed)
    3) connected to the computer by using the admin account and repeat 1 and 2 (failure)
    (4) technical note followed by support, checked the values of registry HKEY and restarted maching (Failed-no effect)
    (4) hard disk access on network from another computer on Windows 7 (64 bit professional) and
    attempted to create folders by using the user account and administrator (success-Iwas able to create folders)

    This seems a problem isolated to the recent updates of the Windows 7 32-bit system.  Are there indications as to what to do?

  • cannot create new folders on windows 7

    It started happening a while back and I thought nothing of it, but now it's a problem. Whenever I try to right click on my desktop right click window won't open. It just loads for a while and then it crashes with a "Internet Explorer has stopped working". I don't even use IE and it becomes a big problem because it crasehd click on my pc when I can. Anyone know anything about this?

    It is the answer to not be able to create new folders. If it helps doesnl with IE crashing, make a separate thread on this in the forum IE.

    Versions of Windows beyond Windows XP are not entirely compatible with Acrobat 6. The first version of Acrobat that is supported by Windows 7 is Acrobat 8.1 (is no longer licensed by Adobe). The latest version of Acrobat: Acrobat Columbia, six versions more recent than Acrobat 6. You need to upgrade to get all the features of Acrobat.

  • How can I create system recovery disc for a new laptop with windows 7 Home Premium?

    I just bought my daughter a new Toshiba Satellite with Windows 7 Home Premium laptop last night. The laptop came with a Windows restore disk. How to create a set of boot from the DVD then when the system fails, or I need a new facility? I created a system repair disc and two-disc Image recovery. Is this enough to fully restore Windows 7 to the initial state of machines? (Technology at best buy assured me that it was nothing that I was able to do and that they would do for me for $70.00.)

    In short: my Dell came with a system recovery disk which was very convenient. I would like to reproduce this convenience with Windows 7. Any help appreciated.

    Jim

    You will need to follow the manufacturers directions to create the recovery media. Looks like you've done that, but Toshiba could only say with certainty. I recommend that you contact their customer service.

  • New installation of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit on Sony VAIO key OEM

    Hi all

    I recently bought a Sony VAIO VPCEB27FA, who is essentially a Middle East of the EB series model. The PC is literally loaded with all sorts of versions possible assessment and bloatware and it absolutely killed any computing experience. Windows 7 starts at more than 3 minutes. Yes, I timed it actually to see how long it takes for Windows load up before you can start actually using my computer. My old gateway desktop which is in reality a P4 and has Windows 7 installed on it opens in less than 45 seconds and is good to go. So I definitely do a clean install on my laptop to clean up all the UNWANTED horrible. But can I use the Windows 7 key on the back of my laptop after a clean install? I go to download the English version of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit of Digital River. Currently, my laptop has the same version that is the English version of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit as mentioned on this page from Sony

    http://www.Sony-Asia.com/product/vpceb27fa

    Thank you

    PS: - You can see for yourself on the page of Sony in the specifications of the software INCLUDED, how trialware and bloatware been installed by Sony on this machine. I hate Sony for this and I will never buy a VAIO again in my life.

    There is no need to separately download OEM or retail of Windows 7 RTM installation DVD ISO, as the release of Windows 7 installation can be easily converted using simply the correct product key (for example OEM_SLP product key can convert an installation of Windows 7 at retail in OEM version), as issued by the OEM product keys has a different basis of the retail product key. For ISO of DVD images, the only difference between a Windows 7 RTM retail ISO and ISO of OEM of Windows 7 RTM is in position of EI.cfg file [channel], which specifies the sales channel to retail or OEM.
