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.

    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 if this solves the problem for you.

    Kind regards

  • Why can't I create a new folder in the documents?

    Never had problem before you create a new folder, but for the last few months have been unable to do.

    I have the same problem and this is the first time it happened, even though I made many attempts to create a new folder in my MY DOCUMENTS folder.  I did what you asked with the race of the order and I got no error message. So, now what?

  • 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:

  • I can't create a new folder in windows 7 exployer, why?

    In windows 7 exployer, I click on "new folder" high and nothing happens.  I click on the drive I store my info and want to create a new folder, so I click on thenew folder button at the top and nothing happens.

    When you say drive do you mean drive or partiion? Readers are divided into one or more partitions.

    What type of user account you connect as.  This can be an administrator account, a Standard account or a restricted user account.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/change-a-users-account-type

    http://Unixwiz.NET/TECHTIPS/Win7-limited-user.html

    Your problem is probably not a result of having a limited user account.

    Try to create a new folder, an indication of the exact time that you do. Then, look in the event viewer and see if you can see the report in the system / application log registration issue. Thanks for posting a copy of therep [ort in your next message.

    To access the system log, select Start, Control Panel, administrative tools, Event Viewer, in the list on the left of the window select Windows and the system logs.

    Place the cursor on the system, right click and select filter current log. Check the front of the error and click OK and see you only reports errors. Click header to sort on the Date and time. You may need to click a second time to see the last report above.

    A tip for posting copies of error reports! Run the event and double observer
    Click on the error you want to copy. In the window that appears is a
    button resembling two pages. Click on the button and close event
    Viewer.Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of
    the message. Make sure that it is the first dough right out of
    Event Viewer.

  • 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

  • When I'm in Documents, music or photos, I can't create a new folder in Windows 7

    When I'm in My Documents or music photos etc., I can't create a new (empty) folder by using the "new folder" button for some reason any.  Also, I can right click and create a new compressed folder, but there is no option for a regular folder when I right-click.  I tried CTRL + SHIFT + N, but who does not work either.  Clues?

    Thank you

    Update: option file showed up tonight, I guess after reboot and despite the error message posted above...

    Are strange issues Win7:-as the way in which the computer freeze up if the computer goes into fashion watches with the taskbar on auto-hide mode...

    Yet, I think it's a big improvement over XP.

    Options are still their and when I type mkdir folder_name in the command prompt it creates a folder, but when I press on the new folder buttons, it does nothing. It does not matter where, not on the desktop or in others. By the way im running windows 7 home, I think. Also, I don't get a single error message. Nothing happens at all. Help, please.

  • Why can't I create a new epub file in a model of epub on ibooks author?

    I try to import an epub I created on another platform in iBooks author in order to edit it there and re-export as an epub. When you choose file > new epub file and I choose a model, epub models are not available. No idea why? No work around? I don't see why I can't create an epub from an any epub.

    I don't think that iBA has the functionality you need.  You start with a model of epub and add things to it.

    You must use another application to edit your original epub.  Apple won't do anything for this AFAIK.
