Windows 7 is no longer I make new folders even on the desktop.

I am running on Windows 7 Home Premium, SP 1 and is no longer we will get new files, even on the desktop.  The option is there, but when I click on "New folder", the button depresses, but nothing else happens and there is no new record.  On the desktop, if I right click on the option create a new folder is not there either. I checked the settings in the control panel under "Folder Options", but I don't see anything to change for this option to return.  How can I get that back?

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.

    Windows 8 going on the new user interface on the desktop.  I don't want to do.  How can I prevent it from the new UI on the old desktop?

    I ran the install checker and it can and it works fine.

    I found the answer last night with the help of some very helpful tech support from Microsoft.  Find it, it was the touchpad driver.  It was an older version, and once that it has been updated the user interface seems to be 'don't call him underground mode.

    Dear Sir/Madam

    When I turned off my laptop and the switch once more, a problem occurs usually suddenly and my operating system "Vista Ultimate" done before and Windows 7 now do the same thing as well time and time again.

    The problem is often occurred when I start my PC which is the operating system attempts to create a new different OFFICE that is completely different to my usual DESKTOP with this message:

Make sure the office is inserted correctly, or that you are connected to the internet or your network, and then try again. If it can't be located, the information may have been moved to another location. »

    I did format three times and reinstalled my OS Vista and 7 and the problem still occurs. But sometimes, and after passing it off several times the problem disappears. But when my work of operating system there is no problem at all. That's my problem.

  • Windows Vista puts up-to-date makes pc and slow down the browser issues any help?

    OK first turned off im not a computer genius or an irritable person. but I have two PCs, one runs windows vista that in recent years its got terribly slow with each update and in particular some of them it becomes a bit slower, I noticed. I would like to install the updates of the browser windows 7 and all this reallycan help speed that my old pc can run games online and pc itself can run faster but I need to install these make the updates. my browser and pc so slow it is literally an analysis sometimes or just stops. It does not help the games that are played in particular in the form of online browser. I'm really at a loss what to do. I completely erased the HDD and reset to factory settings that makes my pc running at a pace that is very nice but not fast enough for some games online that work 7. is there something that you have out there which can remove all glitched updates and only installs the updates that really are needed and will not clutter up my pc or do my pc slow as a snail again.  or a list of important updates only that you need just to move to 7 with duty to update ALL updates. When I deleted the hard drive at the factory, it runs great. then it is better in a few years. I don't want to end up with the same problem. again and again... or end up not being able to play my games online, because the software cannot be updated. When I tried to update my software back again once to a crawl even AFTER I had just wiped out the hard drive {not to mention I had to whipe it again to get the updates to do works back} so obviously, as I suspected it was the windows updates that are a malfunction of my pc. I have even higher speed dsl and it works like a charm on any other pc very well and runs on this pc as well when his shattered fine if not not not my net access is make my browser. I'm really at a loss here.  I hope someone out there can help publicize me updates anyone can help me and those that I should avoid because it's very frusterating. God bless you and thank you for your time. Sincerely of Becca

    Method 2:
     
    I suggest that do you a System Restore to the point before these updates have been installed.
    Method 3:
    Once you have completed the restoration of the system, download and install updates one manually to determine which update is causing the problem to occur and if this update is not recommended or important you can refrain from their installation.

  • License of Windows of my OLD Hardisk to a NEW hard drive on the same computer

    I have a computer that came with a Vista 32 bit OEM base HP and I upgraded to the retail of Windows 7 Home Premium on my old 320 GB hard drive.

    Extra: I accidentally deleted my Partition Recovery Vista provided by HP.  Now, I have more ways to recover Vista (including OS DVD Media Kit).

    So I think the upgrade from my old hard drive on a NEW 1 TB hard drive 320.

    However, I am a bit worried if Windows would allow me to activate if I install the Windows 7 Home Premium on the NEW 1 TB hard drive.

    He is still active? If it does not turn on, all the solutions to fix it?

    Bonus: I have Windows 7 Home Premium Disc

    Thank you for reading.
