Strange renaming folder problem

[kdransom]

When I create a new folder at the root of the C: or D: drive on the navigation pane, I cannot name it more than 3 characters. The 4th character causes it to revert to the first character only.

I can rename the same folder in the right pane and it sticks.

I can also create or rename a folder at the C: or D: using a command window (run cmd)

But using the Windows Explorer always the strange 3 character limit. I have no idea what is causing it.

Has anyone else experienced this

Hello kdransom, and welcome to Seven Forums.

If you like, see if downloading and merging the .reg file for the listed Folder option in the tutorial below may help. It will restore the default associations and protocols for folders, and hopefully fix this as well.

Hope this helps,
