Getting "Item Not Found" when creating or renaming folders in explorer
I've been using RT7 Lite over the past few months to create a fully updated Win-7 SP1 installation image that includes drivers for the hardware I have, and does not include any of a dozen or so "bad" telemetry or win-10 nagware updates. For the record this is Win-7, Ultimate, SP1, 32 bit. I've rolled in over 550 updates so far, seems to be up-to-date right at first boot as far as WindozeUpdate is concerned.
Problem is that I get a message window every time I create a new folder or rename an existing folder. This is happening when the folder is on the system hard drive (I think it happens on thumb drives as well). The message is that the "Item not found" - in reference to the new name I've just tried to apply. I can select "try again" and that works - all the time. I'd rather not have to deal with that.
I see that this issue started way back in April or May 2010, and there are various threads on the net about adding or deleting registry entries, or that it may be related to one or two KB's, or that it may be related to trying to get rid of this thing called "Libraries" that shows up in file explorer. I've tried everything, and can't make this issue go away.
Any idea what I should be looking for - either in the registry or bad kb's that I should try to remove from my master-install image?
