• 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.

• Regardless of the update of windows and the drivers, I can't create a new folder anywhere.

  I have windows 7 and a LG monitor. For some reason, I can't right click and create a new folder. All other functions of the file seem to work.

  Hello Wesley,

  I don't know why you mentioned your monitor, is there something related to your question of record?

  In any case, to create a new folder in the Solution Explorer, you right-click on the folder parent (or drive) and select 'create a new folder '. Are you saying that its lack of right click menu? If Yes, most probably the cause is in the configuration of the Explorer.

  To access, click on the word "Conduct" in the Solution Explorer's main window and in the menu that opens, select "folder and search options. That opens a window, from the tabs along the top of the page, select "View". Which in turn opens a window with several check boxes, make sure that the default settings are checked (there is a button at the bottom of the window to do) and try again.

  Let me know how you fare.

  Kind regards

• Do not allow me to create a new folder

  Hi guys, I'm relatively new to dreamweaver so I hope I make a fundamental error but when I right-click the blank space in the folder, the option box 'create a folder' is canceled and I'm not able to click on it. Can someone explain what I did to make this happen?

  Just guessing here, but DW needs to know where you want to place the new folder

  Select and right click on the folder in which you want to contain the new folder

  I created a new folder, but it won't let me save a web page in it, can anyone help please

  Hello

  E-mail folders are virtual and you can save emails in them. To save a Web Page put it
  in a real folder you would have a file on the hard drive.

  I hope this helps.

• 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:

• 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

  JAS

• Windows 7 suddenly doesn't let me make a new folder/subfolder

  I was able to create folders and subfolders in my library. Now, I can't create a new folder.

  Hello

  You have discovered a problem with Windows 7. To resolve this problem, I recommend 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 how you fare.

• Why can't I create a new folder in Windows 7?

  No matter what I do, "New folder" does not work.  Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.  It has worked before, now it doesn't.  There is a solution, but it's a lot of time.  Help, please.  Thanx

  I found this somewhere, can't remember where exactly, but it works if you try to create a new folder in the C: drive.

  Try this. Launch the command prompt and in the window, type cd... (including colon) and press ENTER. Type cd... and press ENTER again. Repeat until you get C:\ >

  Now, type mkdir  folder_name, where folder_name is replaced by the name you choose for your new folder. Press ENTER. Remove and check.
