Is Internet Explorer open when you get these messages? If so close it
before trying to create the new folder and see what happens.

If you are getting error messages about Internet Explorer when your
are running Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer is not open then I
would suspect some sort of virus or spyware activity is involved.

Make certain that your antivirus software is completely up to date
with the virus definitions not more than a week old and do a complete
virus scan of your computer. Then get a "second opinion" about
possible viruses by doing a free online virus scan at

Check for spyware by following MVP Jim Eshemlan's Spyware Quick Fix
procedure at http://www.aumha.org/a/quickfix.htm


Good luck
