Unable to rename "New Folder"

There's so much stuff in the Registry that's not documented, afaik, so that I wouldn't discount anything until at least running a malware scan. On my system a Malwarebytes quick scan takes less than 4 minutes.

Hello Keith,

Have you already tried the suggestions offered by Rich and myself above to see if they may be able to help you?

I don't really think your posts had anything to do with his question, unfortunately. He can change the name of a New Folder fine in Windows Explorer, BUT, when he downloads a file off of the internet, and clicks save as, in THAT box he creates a folder for the file, but cannot rename it THROUGH THE SAVE AS BOX.

Hopefully this clarifies it a bit, I'm stumped though.

Yes, but the registry settings in the "Folder" download will also affect the "Save As" type of boxes as well. It would still be worth a try to see if it may help. :)

Keith, did you try the Folder download option instead of ZIP yet?

Default File Type Associations - Restore

Keith,

As a test, create a new administrator account to see if you have this issue in it as well.

Keith,

It can be so many possibilities. A simple solution would be to copy all contents of your old account's C:\Users\(user-name) user folders (including hidden AppData folder) into the corresponding new account's C:\Users\(user-name) user folders. This will copy over most of your settings and all shortcuts to your new account. After everything checks out ok for you in the new account, you can delete the old user account while logged in the new one.

Keith,

Sure, you can try that to see if it that may work better.
