folders

[mr.magoo]

I have an Explorer window open. I try to add a new folder w/ the rclick but there's no option for it. I try to click the button "New Folder" in the top menu and nothing happens. How do I create a frickin' folder?

Where are you trying to create it? Are you sure you have appropriate privileges?

 

[mr.magoo]

In the Windows Explorer where the rest of the folders are. I'm the admin and only user of this computer.

Lord o lord, no one can help me w/ this? I'm churning out products like crazy and I have no place to put them!

What "folder" are you trying to create a folder under?

In the left panel under libraries, select a folder at "My Documents" level or deeper. Then in the right panel right-click and try your New>Folder. (If you could post a screenshot at this point for us to see that would be great)

Yeah, you can't create one directly into Libraries (as it's not technically a folder to begin with), so I am just wondering where you are trying to create it.

Got to be an easier way. I can't seem to create a folder anywhere. My rclick "New" brings up a lot of options, including a compressed folder. I just created a copy of one of my existing folders, deleted everything in it, moved files into it and renamed it.

Hmmmnn I still think it's a permissions issue.

 

[mr.magoo]

OK, back at it and these damned "bibles" aren't doing me any good. Guess I should start with Permissions. Where do I change and what do I change?

And anytime I click "New" it gives lots of choices but no "folder" option.

I'll try and get more info in my cp but I still don't know what I'm doing.

Hi Magoo,
If you're not seeing the folder option under the "New" sub-menu then somthing must be broken. This option has always been in every windows version that I've used. Linux also.

Try System File Checker, sfc /scannow.
Click start and type cmd. Under programs, cmd.exe should be there. Right click and choose "Run as administrator" Then type: sfc /scannow
Notice the space between the c and /. Hit enter.
Let it do its thing and get back to us.

Windows Resource Protection didn't find any integrity violations

I am following this thread with interest, I can't make a new folder anywhere, even on a SDHC Card

Magoo, In my case, I can create briefcase folders and zipped folders but not ordinary folders. (I can only do that on my computer drive but not remote drives), I have been making briefcase folders and using them as ordinary folders until i figure out what is wrong. Can you do that? I can also save files, I just can't create folders.
This whole thing is frustrating.
