CannotCreate new folder in Windows Explorer

I am running Windows 7 Professional.  When I go to Windows Explorer, I can watch all my files, but when I click on "New folder" nothing happens.  I can take an existing folder, copy it and rename it by creating a new folder.  I've been running this version of Windows for over a year and it worked normally until a month ago.  Please tell me how to run again.

What happened a bit in the past, but we see a lot more often recently. Here are two options.

  • New folder in Windows Explorer is not visible until I press refresh

    Hello!

    If I create a new folder in Windows Explorer to a network drive (which is a DFS share) under Windows 7 Professional 32 bit, the new folder is not visible until I have press F5 (refresh). Is there a fix or a solution to this problem?

    Thank you

    Kampi

    Hi kampi,.

    You can wait for a while and do not try to rush by pressing f5, because it can take a while to showup on network drive.

    To work around the problem, you can try to disable the Client of Microsoft Networks in the LAN connection properties

    a. open management of network and sharing Center.

    b. go to the Local network connection and click Properties.

    c. clear the Client for Microsoft Networks option and check.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • Cannot create a new folder in Windows Explorer

    Original title: Windows Explorer

    I have a HP model p6710f computer running Windows 7 SP1 that I keep updated.

    I use Kaspersky Internet Security.

    My problem is: Windows Explorer does not create a new folder and I can't determine why.

    I can create a Briefcase (which I really don't need) but why can't I just create a single file?

    I would like to have information or suggestions about this situation.

    Thank you

  • Email folder in windows Explorer

    I have a new pc with windows xp installed.  Installing office 2003.  I use outlook as my e-mail program, and it is set as the default e-mail program.  When I try to send a file or folder in windows Explorer, that he insists on making mail direct fire.  Why and how can I turn this off.  As it is I go into outlook and attach each file individually to an e-mail message to send.  It wasn't the case with my old pc running xp and office 2000.

  • How can I sort a list of emails in chronological order in a folder in Windows Explorer

    I copied about 20 emails from my Outlook 2010 Inbox to a folder in windows Explorer.

    It's all in date order when it is in Outlook, but when they are copied to a folder, they acquired all the same date and time and therefore reodering by impossible date.

    I had to open each email to get the date that I then used to rename the e-mails as in the following example:

    09.09.15 - smells filename1

    08.08.15 - smells filename2

    03.09.15 - recD-filename3

    10.07.15 - recD-filename4

    What I want to do is kind of these emails according to the new file name. However, when I select sort by "name", instead of form the following list by MY date, i.e.

    10.07.15 - recD-filename4

    08.08.15 - smells filename2

    03.09.15 - recD-filename3

    09.09.15 - smells filename1

    the order of the list remains more or less the same as if the date that I inserted at the beginning of the file name isn't being recognized.

    If anyone can help with the material?

    Thank you

    Sending the files Outlook as to the Ombudsman .msg files is not a good idea. You need to send in the form of .pdf files for anyone to read. Free programs like PDF24 will generate .pdf versions.

  • How to disable the "Fonts" folder in Windows Explorer?

    Hi all

    I have a problem to deactivate the fonts folder in Windows Explorer.
    My question:
    How to turn off or do not display "Fonts" in Windows Explorer my computer tab?

    I think it is unnecessary because it already exists in the Control Panel folder.

    If anyone can solve this, thanks in advance.

    Windows customizes the Fonts folder and offers a special folder view that allows you to hide variations, such as bold and italics. It also allows you to change the display settings of the file in a way that is specific to fonts. If you remove the read-only attributes and the Fonts folder system, these custom display settings not available. For folders that you have customized by using the tab, Customize dialog box Properties of the folder, the folder icon and other other customizations may be missing when you remove the read-only attribute.

  • Why I can not create a new folder in Windows Contacts and rename it?

    I keep my contacts in Windows Contacts, divided into folders named category.  In the past, I was able to press the button "New folder" to create a new folder, and then rename the folder.  Now, I can create a new folder, but Windows doesn't allow me the no - name.  As soon as I type the name of the new folder and press ENTER, it goes back on behalf of the "new folder". Can someone explain what happened?

    If possible, although I honestly don't see how the shortcut should influence.  Try this, just delete your shortcut, then take the icon on the left side of the address bar of the 'work' contacts folder and drag your desktop and drop it.  This example is part of a control panel, but it works the same:
