Default Unable to create new folder in windows explorer 98SE

I somehow have lost the option to click on filenewfolder. It isn't that
it is "grayed out"......it isn't
even there any more. It has been several weeks since I have made a new
folder, but I don't remember
any new programs or any other changes to my P-III 650 512MB system with the
exception of changing
some Nvidia video drivers for my GeForce video card. Any ideas would be
appreciated.

Thanks,

Gary, thanks a bunch. It worked like a charm. I was just thinking how
fortunate it was
that I mentioned having screwed around with the Nvidia drivers lately. I am
always amased
how you guys can remember all of these little quirks.

Regards,
Larry

YW, Larry. I'm always amazed, too, but in my case, it's rote learning. =
Do something 500 times, or look for the same solution 2000 times, and it =
tends to stick... For a few days, anyway, g. There are some notorious =
recent examples where my memory has failed from one hour to the next, =
and in fact, I can't recall the specifics now. Has to do with suddenly =
having no Desktop, recently updating IE, changing Win.ini (or is that =
System.ini?) to make Progman.exe the file browser...

At least I'm beginning to recognize those posts when I see them, and I =
steer clear, let Brian or Glen handle them, bg.
