am having this issue again (probably following a wrong maneuver with a usb stick) - error msg says "cannot find folder - does not exist in C:\... - check current location and retry" - i seem to remember there was a (rather complicated) registry tweak to solve it - anyone know? help much appreciated...

Hello Jmm,

Is this happening with all folders or a specific folder?

Refresh (F5) the window or restart the PC to see if it may just be a ghost folder that had been previously deleted.
