    "Item not found" bug when moving or renaming files/folders


    Hello, I just made an account here because this bug is seriously bugging me. It shows up whenever I move or create any new files/folders.

    I have googled the registry fix and that doesn't seem to be working. Is there any other known fix?

    P.S. There is nothing wrong with Waterfox.

    I would be very worried about Waterfox if a registry fiddle dumb has to be used to get it to work properly. If it was my computer I would remove all of it and wait for Mozilla to get it fixed.

    Waterfox works fine hahaha. I just used the folder with my Waterfox installer to show an example of the error.

    When did this first start to happen and exactly what did you do immediately before?
    What makes you think you need to do a registry "fix"? When you say quote: "I have googled the registry fix and that doesn't seem to be working". Did you edit the registry then? If so I do hope you made a backup of the registry before editing!
    Can you do a system restore to a point behind where it went wrong?

    It was off of a fresh Windows install. I got the registry idea from this thread since it is the exact same bug.

    OP post #3. Waterfox works fine hahaha. I just used the folder with my Waterfox installer to show an example of the error.
    What does this mean?

    Waterfox isn't the issue, I repeat, Waterfox has no issues... -_- the issue is that every time I transfer files/folders I get the error message in the picture in the OP.
