  All of a sudden Win 7 doesn't let me create a new folder in Explorer.  The only option is to "make a new compressed (zipped) folder".

• Cannot create a new folder using the link on command bar (Win 7) over problem of saving files newly downloaded into the folder of choice

  Greetings! And thanks for your visit. I was not a happy camper since my toys have acted toward the top. And eating too much of my time, with too few results. Here we go:

  • I'm unable to create a new folder or get No response after clicking on "new folder" on the command bar in Windows 7 (Professional).

  Nothing happening... not even an error message.  I can enter the existing folders (where individual files) but as I'm trying to create a new folder to put them in, I write off. But that's not all. There is another mystery plaguing my system (and I suspect that these two are related).  I am naïve about how to remedy the situation:

  • I can not save files to my desktop (x) - favorite mainly files I just downloaded and am trying to save;

  I get an error message indicating "you don't have permission to save to this place... you want to save it to My Documents instead? (No, I wouldn't.)  I'm connected with my regular user profile (which has administrator privileges). Yes... I checked in the user accounts and verified. (I am the only user on the system, in case this has an impact on the problem. Not sure if I should create a "dummy" another user without administrator privileges, but just throw that out there.) This seems to be mainly when I am trying to save a downloaded file or the executable file.

  I can if not create and/or move files without problem; It's just not very welcoming for new downloads.

  Between these two issues, I'm not having fun with this all-in-One Dell Optiplex (new).  She is on a home network and the only thing I have

  reminder to do recently is to join the homegroup with one of the other Win 7 PC on the same network. Maybe this related to not having 'permission' to save in some places? Or create new folders? I'm the kind of feeling sad and rejected...

  Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. FYI: I try not to visit the registry on my own I do not have a Guide of techno-GPS with me. I sailed quite well on my own otherwise, provided that I the registry (or any what presses along the way.) Please think about this and do the right thing. I'll wait here with my turn signals on.

  Hello

  You have discovered a problem with Windows 7. To resolve this problem, I use a program called FileMenu Tools. You can download the portable freeware from here: http://www.softpedia.com/get/PORTABLE-SOFTWARE/System/System-Enhancements/FileMenu-Tools-Portable.shtml .

  After having downloaded and installed the program, you will notice that, by default, each option is checked. I would be much more selective on this subject, otherwise your context menu will be a full page long! When the main window opens, you will see a list on the right side of all the elements that can be added to the context menu. Start weeding through the list and every one to take away, you don't need the United Nationsby checking the box.

  Once you have completed your selection (de-selections) make sure that you click the green check mark in the row of icons at the top of the left window of the interface to 'Apply' of your choice. The program can do much more, but that answers your specific question. I am told that the program has a good help file, so try here if you are interested.

  Let me know if this solves the problem for you.

  Kind regards

• What happened to my ability to create a new folder and how do I solve this problem?

  I can no longer create a new folder on my PC. I used for the right click, select 'new', choose 'new folder' and it appeared.  Now, "new folder" is not in the list, and I can't create a same folder by selecting the option from the top of an existing folder. Anyone know what happened?  Thank you!

  I don't know why, but what is happening lately for a lot of Win7 users.

• Re: Windows 7 won't allow me to create a new folder

  Windows does not create a new folder.
  Right click offers many options, including "create new portfolio" but not a new folder. By clicking on the record button create does nothing.

  This is something new, but I can't think of anything that I did recently to make it. It sounds like a permissions problem, but I can't find a solution.

  Have you checked the folder permissions create? Pull up the properties of the parent folder and select the Security tab and click the Advanced button. Double-click the user, and you will see permissions of created files.

• Create a new folder or change the name of a folder on the desktop does not display until I use the refresh command

  After changing the name of a folder or a file on the desktop or by creating a new folder (and then hit enter), the folder or the text file doesn't change - until I use the Refresh command. Then, the text shows correctly and the movements of folder or a file in a place open to the top left of the screen. Before using "Refresh" the folder or the file will not open. When I save a file on the desktop is not visible until the 'Refresh' is used. Sometimes, but not always the same behavior occurs in other folders as well.  I use Win XP SP3. Can someone please shed some light on this?

  Only time that happens, in my limited, knowledge is... If you use a 'illegal' name, such as ":" symbol. There are symbols, that you cannot use as part of a name. When this happens, you should get a warning indicating that the name is not allowed, something to that effect. Then he returns itself back to the new folder.
  Suggest you try again with conventional names. See if it works or not.

• Cannot create a new folder name

  Cannot create a new folder and name it.  The name I give always comes back again record when I hit enter.

  I'm assuming that happens with all new folders in the special folder that you use and that you use a "legal" name for the folder - but that is determined when you answer questions of Malke.

  It's maybe a permissions issue.  You will have to perhaps take full rights on the folder or even take in charge of the case.

  To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.  To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

  To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  You can change now switched to read-only (even if the main folder indicates that they are always read-only - you can access yourself as the owner).  You can keep them in read-only to other users, customers and administrators even (although they can support themselves and access, if they wish, and it is really not that you can do to stop it except protect the file with a password by using a 3rd party product.)  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.  To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

• 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

• Unable to create the new folder. File system 512 error.

  Hello

  I was not able to create new folders in my pictures public library recently. Whenever I do, I get a message from file system error 512.

  A forum sponsor said that Windows 7 had a limit of cable of 50 folders under the images. Even though I've had 61 cases, which kind of contradict that response, I went before and tidy up until now I have only 39 files directly under the images. However, the problem persists.

  Just for the record, I also did a registry cleaning, obviously have restarted, etc.

  Any ideas out there would be more appreciated.

  Hello

  Did you changes to the computer before you encountered the problem?

  Check if you are able to create a new folder in the library of images in safe mode. To start in safe mode follow the link given below.

• Suddenly, Windows NOT simply allow me to create a new folder - the choice is NO longer available when I "right-click" - what happened?

  Suddenly and without any warning, I can't create a simple "new folder"; an attempt to 'right click' offers me only: 1) a folder compressed (zip), or, 2.) a Briefcase.   Why the simple "new folder" disappeared off the coast of the menu list, and HOW do I get BACK?

  If I open Explorer and try to create a new folder from there, I can "click"New folder"button all DAY, but it does NOTHING.

  What happens here?

  I am running Windows 7 and so did 15-16 months, without any real problem, so far.

  If anyone can help with this, I would CERTAINLY appreciate it.

• When a right click to create a new folder, I can't see the new option 'file' in the menu. Why?

  I'm running Win 7 Ultimate and it happened on my system for the first time: when a right click to create a new folder, I can not see new option 'file' in the menu.
  I remember that I did not create new records from the last 5 days, so I can't say when the problem came. But I remember that yesterday I uninstalled 'free. '
