Cannot create folders

I have 2 questions.

I was not able to create a folder. For example, if I'm in excel and I want to save a file there is a button that says "new folder." When I point and click on the button nothing happens.

For several months, I had was rename files to get. But I'm off to rename the files. I am not satisfied with messing around with the registry.

First Question, he used to work I had no crashes or other failures. I'm following all recommended windows updates.  Why this work stoppage?

How can second question, I correct this situation? I don't like some of the suggestions on editing the registry (scares me to change something that I don't understand). If this is a known Microsoft error there a fix before course and right?

Thank you in advance for you suggestions.

A boot is a way to explore

It can be caused by a shell extension.

The Explorer is built on addin programs called Extensions of Shell. The standard is provided by Microsoft, but programs add their own.

  • Click the file menu and then click new task (run) and enter explorer

If this can help, reactivate ½ at a time to identify those who. If this does not help, restart AutoRuns and go to the all tab and uncheck everything that it and restart. If this can help, reactivate ½ at a time to identify those who.

  • 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.

    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.

  • I cannot create new folders in Windows 7

    Processor: Intel Core i7 - 3520M
    System: 32 bit OS
    OS: Windows 7 Professional

    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 the folder on the storage device

    My flash player works well, but lately, I can't create a folder: it simply indicates: cannot create the folder?

    My flash player works well, but lately, I can't create a folder: it simply indicates: cannot create the folder?

    =====================================
    The dialog box you received usually indicates that there
    are too many files copied to the root directory of the
    flash drive.

    The solution is to remove one or more pictures and
    create new empty folders in their place... then move
    all the photos in the files... problem solved.

  • "Cannot create file, no access to", trying to move the pictures to a media card.

    I want to send pictures on a memory card for a digital photo frame, but when I click on the image I get a warning saying that the computer could not move or copy the file. Cannot create the directory. How to make photos accessible?

    If you receive an error indicating that:

    "Impossible to copy the XXXX: failed to create the directory or file.

    There is a possibility that you copied too many files to
    the root directory of the memory card... This can be overcome
    by placing the image files in folders on the card.

    (FWIW... you may need to remove a photo from the map to)
    make room for the record)

  • . Help copying images - "cannot create or replace family photos. Access is denied.

    When I try to copy pictures from my computer to a Lexar removable I get this message. "Cannot create or replace family photos. Access is denied. Make sure that the disk is not full or write protected and this file is not currently in use. Please help, but keep it simple that I am barely computer literate

    Just a guess... but maybe you copied too
    files in the directory root of the card. (Root directory
    simply means level 1 with no folder)

    Remove files from the media, and then try again.

    For example I just tested a 1 GB SD card and the
    maximum number of files I can copy to the root
    Directory is 180. If I add a file more I get a dialog box
