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.

  • 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.

  • 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

    Hello

    Sorry we don't communicate via this forum.

    You need a real antivirus because these are the two antispyware. You have the PCtools antivirus
    on the computer or just their toolbar in Internet Explorer?

    -------------------------------------------------

    If there is no antivirus on the computer here is what I use and recommend (except for one
    program like Prevx, you don't want more than one antivirus on the computer program
    much less running because they interfere with each other and lower security). Each combination
    of her below you will warn of malware without toolbar from PCtools running online.

    Here's what I use and recommend: (these are alll free and very effective versions.)

    Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
    launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
    reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

    Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
    Operation of the network.

    Prevx - Home - free

    Windows Firewall

    Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

    Protected IE - mode

    IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

    I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
    (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
    right of IE)

    Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x

    Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
    Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
    Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
    Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
    disabled - click OK
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

    Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
    and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
    Finish those you don't use).
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

    Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

    Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

    Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
    programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
    or use Google to see how to remove.
    http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
    http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp  <-->

    PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
    http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
    would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
    (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
    never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

    I hope this helps.

  • I upgraded my Vista Home premium to windows 7 ultimate, shortcuts on the desktop are not displayed, and can be created, or any folder cannot be created until the flash drive is reinserted

    during the upgradation he automatically took backup to an external flash drive, now every time I have to run has previously program I have to insert this flash drive.
    also all the shortcuts on the desktop are not displayed, and can be created, or any folder cannot be created so that the flash disk is reinserted

    Hi subhshy001,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Windows answers Forum community!

    Try this if you do not have

    Windows Explorer to create the folders and shortcuts in your document folder, drag and drop them on your desktop.

    If you have completed the steps and was not even useful,

    Follow these steps:

    Try to create a shortcut and sending it on the desktop.

    (1) open: Start Menu ,.
    (2) right-click: Internet Explorer icon .
    (3) select: send to > desktop (create shortcut).

    There should be a shortcut on the desktop .

    Make sure that the "show desktop icon" has a check against it

    OR

    Just click on the empty part of the desktop, choose new > then select the folder to create. Right click on this folder , select Rename it.

    If the steps above do not work then:

    You can scan your computer for malware.

    You can download, install and update anti-malware free of your favorite search engine and find malware.

    If the scan comes back clean, so I recommend doing a System File Checker too l to analyze your OS system files.

    To help resolve this problem, use the tool (SFC.exe) System File Checker to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. open an elevated command prompt . To do this, click Start , click principally made programs , Accessories , right-click guest , and then click run as administrator .  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow .
    2. type the following command and press ENTER: sfc/scannow (Yes there is a space after sfc) the sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions. This analysis do take some time to complete.

    Hope this information helped!

  • 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:

  • CF does not show the timeline, the preview window, and it is impossible to create a new project

    Dear Apple Support,

    I bought my MacPro in France so my Final Cut is also in French. I went into the settings and remove all languages except English. It worked, but today when I tried to delete a, my Final Cut showed no chronology, the preview window and all the rest. The only thing it shows - the library. It is impossible to create a new project - the program stops.

    What did you deleted?  Looks like you have deleted all languages including English.

    Maybe just reinstall the app.  She is in a language other than the OS, you can try
