    unable to move/rename folders


    am having this issue again (probably following a wrong maneuver with a usb stick) - error msg says "cannot find folder - does not exist in C:\... - check current location and retry" - i seem to remember there was a (rather complicated) registry tweak to solve it - anyone know? help much appreciated...

    Hello Jmm,

    Is this happening with all folders or a specific folder?

    Refresh (F5) the window or restart the PC to see if it may just be a ghost folder that had been previously deleted.

    In that case, see if downloading and merging the .reg file for the listed folder option in the tutorial below may be able to help. It will restore the default associations and registry entries for folders.

    Default File Type Associations - Restore

    Hope this helps. :)
