Cannot create folders, shortcuts, etc.

Cannot create folders, shortcuts, etc. I tried to make it on the desktop by right click-> new, but it has not worked, there is written (Nothing). I think that I have problems with a registry. Please help me. My OS is Windows Vista Home Premium.

Hey, pregnant.  Yes, I see that it is empty.  I think the problem is buried somewhere in the registry.

My only suggestion is to use Windows Explorer to create the folders and shortcuts in your document folder and drag and drop them on your desktop.

  • Cannot create folders after update of Lenovo to tab 2 A10

    My Tablet has downloaded an update for Lenovo this morning. After the update, all my files are gone, and my apps are spread over two pages in alphabetical order. I'm unable to hold and drag to create new folders. When I take an application icon, it brings to the top of the home screen to move the shortcut to the application. How to create folders after update?

    I just thought of it. You must move the shortcuts to the application in one of the home screens, then you can hold and drag to create folders. This seems like an unnecessary extra step...

  • Cannot create a shortcut on the desktop for a Web site in the browser Firefox Tor

    I am a user of Tor Browser, and I love the interface of Firefox. According to my page, my Firefox browser is up-to-date. But for some reason I can't save shortcuts to office for a Web site. Whenever I drag the icon beside a Web site (variously a glob, a green bolt and other icons), I get a mouse icon of denial no matter where I try to put the web shortcut on the desktop. This happens even when I drag the bookmarks of my bookmark bar! My guess is that something is blocked in Tor allowing no shortcuts settings. Any suggestions on where the parameters of the shortcuts are in Firefox?

    Fred, all other modules worked well. I contacted the people of Tor, and they were unsure of what's going on. I've pasted their response below, but the short answer is that they have me just save shortcuts manually from the office whenever the Tor Button is active. Thanks for your help, you've been great!

    Drag events filtering and blocking the external application

    External applications can be induced to load files that perform network
    activity. Unfortunately, there are cases where these applications can be launched
    automatically with little or no user intervention. To avoid this,
    Torbutton installs a component to provide the user with a popup when
    the browser is trying to launch a helper application.

    In addition, modern desktop computers now preemptively look for all URLS in drag
    and events move as soon as the drag is initiated. This download happens
    independently Tor browser setting and can be triggered by
    something as simple as holding the mouse button for a little too
    time by clicking a link to the image. Filter us drag and drop events
    events of Torbutton before the OS downloads the URL contained events.

  • Cannot create folders under POP Server mail in iPhone mail

    Why Apple does not allow the creation of folders in email POP servers in iPhones?  Very unfair to limit this function. I have all Apple devices (iPhone not only) and it would be great if I could organize my emails that I don't want to delete but do not need have all scattered them in the Inbox. I'm really surprised that there is still a problem with Apple.   Please allow the creation of folders under iPhone mail servers pop.  Thank you.

    It is not a problem with Apple, this is a limitation of the POP email protocol. Get an IMAP e-mail account, and you will not have this problem.

  • iPhoto cannot create folder

    Older version of iPhoto to create folders of photo with my uploaded photos. Now, after upgrading I can't do, I copy a picture want to paste in the folder but unfortunately paste is not active and the image can be placed in the folder. What to do, I've uploaded lots of photos from my camera to my Mac Book Air, but cannot create folders and separate them in the order that I used with the old version of iPhoto.Please help me! Cannot work! I upgraded my laptop to fall last year and I am very unhappy because of that.

    Marta

    You use iPhoto or Photos?  The iPhoto version which will work with El Capitan is 9.6.1.  We need more info about your situation before we can begin to help:

    1 - What are you using, iPhoto or Photos?  What version?

    2. What are your help?

    3. where are these records to which you refer? In the library or on the desktop?

    If you have any Photos, this could be useful:

    Moments in Photos are new events, i.e. groups of photos sorted by date of catch.

    When the iPhoto library has been migrated first to the pictures there is a folder created in the box titled iPhoto events and all migrated iPhoto events (which are now Moments) are represented by an album in this folder. Use the Command + Option + S key combination to open the sidebar if it is not already open.

    NOTE: it has been reported by several users that if the albums of the event are moved in the iPhoto Library folder in the sidebar, they disappear.  It is not widespread, but several users have reported this problem.  Therefore, if you want to if ensure that you keep these event albums do not transfer out of the iPhoto events folder.

    Is there a way to simulate events in pictures.

    When new photos are imported in the library of Photos, go to the smart album last import , select all the photos and use the file menu option ➙ New Album or use the key combination command + N.  Call it what you want.  It appears just above the folder to iPhoto events where you can drag it into the events in iPhoto folder

    When you click on the folder to iPhoto events, you will get a window simulated of iPhoto events.

    Albums and smart albums can be sorted by title, by Date, with the oldest first and by Date with the most recent first.

  • Cannot resize firefox so I can drag and drop to create a shortcut

    I can't make my Firefox page smaller so I can drag and drop a web site to create a shortcut. I use windows 7. I have no flu when I point at the bottom right. When I use zoom the page itself re sizes but not the window. I just need to see a bit of my office, so I can create a shortcut.

    Hi limomitch, Firefox will remember the last 'normal' window size by saving in this file you deleted (which Firefox creates new). To switch between the normal and maximized window styles, you usually just double-click the title bar of the window, or you can use the middle (the one between minimize and close) button in the upper right corner.

    If you find that the 'normal' window size has increased too, and if the lower right corner is not visible, you can try Alt + SPACEBAR. It is a convention of Windows on the scale to display the window control menu. If the size is not gray, press arrow down once, then the up arrow key repeatedly until the lower edge of the window is in view. Repeat with the left if necessary and right keys. (If the size is dimmed, choose restore and that might be all you need).

  • cannot create shortcuts

    I can no longer create a shortcut in the menu programs. When I try right-click on the name of the program, the screen just flashes.

    Recently, I uninstalled MS Office 2007 and reinstalled Office 2003. Don't know if this has nothing to di with it, but the problem started right after that.

    Thank you.

    Hi booatticus,
     
    -Were you able to create shortcuts without any problem before?
    -Do you receive the menu while you right-click the program?
     
    Method 1: Start in safe mode and check if the same problem persists there too.

    Safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not work in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed.

    A description of the options to start in Windows XP Mode

    Method 2: Create a new user account and verify, is that the same behavior shows here also.
