  Why I can't create new folders? When I right click instead of being able to create a "new folder", I have the ability to create a 'shortcut '. Also, when I open a file I can't use the 'create a new folder' button on the top of the page taskbar. When I click it, nothing happens.

• 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.

  Hi Sara,.

• 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?

• cannot create new folders on windows 7

  It started happening a while back and I thought nothing of it, but now it's a problem. Whenever I try to right click on my desktop right click window won't open. It just loads for a while and then it crashes with a "Internet Explorer has stopped working". I don't even use IE and it becomes a big problem because it crasehd click on my pc when I can. Anyone know anything about this?

  It is the answer to not be able to create new folders. If it helps doesnl with IE crashing, make a separate thread on this in the forum IE.

• 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.

  I tried the suggestions here:

  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.

  In Windows Explorer, Win + E key, tools | Folder options | View. Show Hidden files, folders, or drives.

• I can't create new folders. When I right click, then click on 'new' there is no option to create a new folder. Why is this happening?

  When you try to create a new folder, there is no option to do so. I checked for viruses, and I did not. Was - that one of the updates? The only way I can create a new folder is by copying an existing folder, and then remove all what it and rename the folder.

  You have installed chrome? It's looking like a recent update of chromium may be the cause.

  What kind of hotmail account?
  Windows Live Hotmail?
  If Yes...
  Open WLHotmail > left side, look for manage folders, click on it > in the new window click on NEW. The rest is self-explanatory.

• Can I create new folders and filter emails to them when using folders, unified inbox

  Spent in IMAP and ended up with two inboxes (w8dn & weightdn @...). Switched to records unified to get all emails in one place. I get emails from many of many email lists if you need to create folders and filter emails in the appropriate folder. I can make this as set up or will it return to the POP server?

  Thank you
  Mike / W8DN

  Yes. Local folders account is provided by Thunderbird for just this purpose; a generalized situation of storage independent of the account. The filter is located under Tools | Message filters. Right click on the sender in a message header will also create a filter.

  With Thunderbird, you by default will have a separate set of folders for each account. This way gives you the opportunity to keep separate accounts (some users require) and you can also use the saved searches, Unified files and local files to merge accounts (other users require too!)
