Why I can't create new folders?

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.

Tip: When you save the text in Notepad, the default file format is .txt. Replace all files.
 
 
 
P.S. unless you have moved the Windows taskbar to the top bar, you are probably talking about a toolbar for a specific program.

  • Why I can't create new folders in Windows Explorer? Worked until recently.

    Something changed and I don't know what.  Click on new and only Briefcase appears on the menu.  New folder is no longer an option, and clicking on the button new folder in the menu bar does nothing.

    Hi Frank,.

    To resolve this problem for a long time with Windows 7, 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

  • 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.

  • I can't create new folders in the libraries.

    When I click on the button new file that does nothing, does anyone know where I can begin to understand this? No matter if I am in my library of documents or photos, I can't create a new folder for my articles.

    Thank you!

    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.

  • 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.

    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!)

  • 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.

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