Cannot create new folders
Hello,
An odd thing happened to my computer. For some reason I can no longer create new folders on my desktop or in the Windows Explorer directory. The "create new folder" and "new" menus are gone. I tried reinstalling I.E. and that did not help. Any ideas? Thanx! Curtis

Sounds like you've just installed new nVidia drivers??
If that's the case, then email me, and I'll send you a registry fix (developed by Mike Maltby, MVP) to cure your other problems. - -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2005, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "zootmutant" wrote in message ...

See if this helps courtesy of MikeM.
Joan Out of curiosity do you have a nVidia graphics card and have you recently updated its drivers? This problem seems often to be being caused by installing updated nVidia graphics drivers. If that's the case here and you don't want to use system restore there is a registry file you can download from Aumha.org which will should fix the problem. "Restore NEW Command.
