Ok, performed an sfc, and it does say there are corrupt registry files, but I cannot get inot the CBS.log file in C:\windows\logs\cbs. So have no way of verifying what they are or how to repair them. Any ideas anyone?

Well, still havent sorted this issue, but thanks anyway.
Here's two more resources for you to take a look at:

Hello Imperfect1, and thanks for taking the time to reply. I had kind of given up on this, it wasnt the "end of the world" or anything like that, but a bit inconvenient and slightly worrying from the point of how did my files or registry get corrupted. However, in the second link you posted there does seem to be a notation near the top that does shed some light on this subject: "NOTE: In the C: drive, C:\Program Files, C:\Program Files (x86), and C:\Windows root directory folders and all of their subfolders, you will only have New - Folder available."
Now, that actually explains it. I posted this problem in "microsoftanswers.com", and actually asked (copy/paste from that thread)
"Is there any reason why my options under right click\new would be limited to just "folder" while in some folders in W7 Ultimate?"
I have not received a reply to that but the link you posted does exactly that, so thank you very much. Although not a fix in the true sense, I now know nothing is broken, and that nails this issue, unless Im reading it wrong, but I dont think so. So, again big thanks for the link...and peace of mind
So glad the mystery is solved --- even though I know you would've preferred a different answer, giving you more customization options. And of course, keep you eye out for other 3rd party apps that might give you some additional options.
