Suddenly unable to create new folders using the Windows 7 Explorer.

I've been running Windows 7 32 - bit (upgrade from Vista) for over a year without any problems.  All of a sudden, I can't create a folder on one of my readers directories structures using the Explorer methods. Context menu only displays "Briefcase". Menu of files shows only "shortcut". Create a folder button does nothing.  Yet, I can always create directory via mkdir on cmd.exe (thank God for command lines ).  I did 2 system restore goes further every time (the second time in 10 days), but can not get the Explorer's ability to create a new subdirectory.  I scanned the heck out of the machine with half a dozen scanners for virus/malware/rootkit (Microsoft Security Essentials is my antivirus and I use Microsoft Firewall).  I went on a comprehensive register and can not find any key that would block the creation of records.  Any advice?

    Do, or you have installed Chrome? It appears that an update of Chrome, (mid April 2013), is responsible for the loss of the option new folder. Even if Chrome has not been installed, here are two corrections.

  • Search using the Windows 7 Explorer

    Successfully, I searched and found a file in my file system. But the search engine does not tell me where the file is located. How do I know where the file is located, so I'll know where it is (and possibly move it elsewhere) and won't have to search each time.

    If you right-click on the file and click Properties on the menu that appears, you will see location information about a third of the way down on the box that appears.  You can also click on 'place to open the file' to get to the scene.  The search results window can also be customized with columns of information to your liking.  If you perform a search and then right click on any column heading, you can click to choose "folder path".  If you click on more at the bottom of the menu after right, you can choose from a long list of information.

  • Cannot creat new folders in Windows 7 Home Premium

    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium. For some time, I was not able to create new folders. The only option under New's case, among other things, that I never use. I was using Dell DataSafe Online and after several months of backups without a hitch, he began to make files and folders disappear whenever he did a backup, although I could find them with a search. When I tried to create a new folder with the same name that the old man he would find the old one, ask if I wanted to merge them, and another would disappear as well. Over time, the option create a folder disappeared also.

    No solution.

    Can anyone help!

    When you do research, you see the path to the folder? Can drag you the folder to another location, such as desktop or My Documents?

    Make sure that the folder is not hidden. Right-click on it and select Properties.

    In addition, enable hidden files.

  • I cannot create new folders in Windows 7

    It seems that I've lost the ability to create new folders using Windows 7.  Here are the details of my system:

    Computer: Dell Latitude E6330
    Processor: Intel Core i7 - 3520M
    System: 32 bit OS
    OS: Windows 7 Professional

    Here's what I've tried so far:
    (1) tried to make a right click on the desktop, without any available menu options (Failed)
    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?

  • The Windows 7 Explorer reads 4096 bytes of files with FILE_ATTRIBUTE_OFFLINE

    Hi all!

    After installation: Windows 7 as an SMB client. Plan sharing SMB like, say, Z: and use the Windows 7 Explorer to browse a directory in the share. It looks like Windows Explorer bed the first each file 4096 bytes, even files that have the FILE_ATTRIBUTE_OFFLINE set (these files have the attribute set "O").

    My understanding of FILE_ATTRIBUTE_OFFLINE is that the file is not available immediately, for example, because it is stored in a hierarchical storage management system and read on this file may result in access to, say, bands. Of course, you don't want to trigger several tape media, just because you browse a directory.

    So my question is: is it considered "working as intended" that Windows 7 Explorer reads the first 4096 bytes of each file (especially those who have defined FILE_ATTRIBUTE_OFFLINE) when I browse a directory (at least if I browse it for the first time) or should Explorer honor FILE_ATTRIBUTE_OFFLINE and not read these files?

    If Explorer works as expected, is there a way to change this behavior?

  • 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

  • I can not create new folders. And then I discovered that I have more problems.

    I can not create new folders.   So, I tried to create a restore point, and who do not also have. He said that the restoration of the system did not completely & system files and settings were not changed.  Details: System Restore could not access a file.  It's probably because an antivirus program is running.  So I have disabled all programs and I still got the same message when I tried to use system restore.  I tried the SFC scan.  The scan SFC says he found no violation of integrity.  I could not create a new user, because it says that the user profile service does not log on.  Failed to load the user profile.  So I am totally confused. I recently followed the instructions on your site, to create a new Normal template as mine has been altered.  That worked very well, but all of a sudden, no new files cannot be created.
