W7 cannot create new Folders
Hi,
I have an upgrade install on W7 onto a Vista Ultimate.
Working well until now I cannot create any new folders using any method.
Any ideas?

No. The New Folder option is not available on Right Click. But it is available in the Explorer Folder top menu. I click it but no folder is created.
No error message.
At the moment, all I can recommend is doing a clean install. I'm guessing something went wrong in the upgrade. Maybe someone with more experience with your problem can help.

I was able to create folders for a few days. Maybe it is a piece of software?
Hello Dean, and welcome to Seven Forums.
You might see if doing step 5 in the tutorial below may be able to restore this for you.
New Context Menu - Remove & Restore Default Menu Items
Hope this helps,

Did not fix the problem. I cannot create New Folders even from the tool bar in Explorer.
So Step 5 in the tutorial did not fix the problem.
But NewFolderFix.reg did.

I think it is the same reg edit but for some reason Step did not work.
When I say it did fix the problem I am not sure why it even was a problem on a 2 day old upgrade.
