I've lost the option to create New Folders!

Dear all,

Today I tried to create a 'new' folder. Normally I get the option by
right-clicking on the mouse and selecting 'New Folder', but when I looked,
the option wasn't there! - Nor is it under 'File' at the top of the screen.

I don't know what the hell I've done, but I would dearly like to regain this
option! I tried 'Ghosting' up my previous backup, but it wasn't there
either (It's some time since I created a 'new' folder).

How can I regain the facility to create new folders? What is missing from
the registry, and how can I put it back? I don't really want to 'Ghost' up
my PC from way back when....

All assistance greatly appreciated. Just before I go, is it likely that the
inability to create a 'new' folder is related to some sort of WINME security
update (like the inability of links to open when my pages are selected as
'web' folders?)

And you have almost certainly also lost the ability to select thumbnail
view in Windows Explorer and to share individual folders with other users.
If you wish to fix this you need to mail me. The fix on the Aumha site
will only fix the inability to select New Folder and not thumbnail view or
the sharing of folders (only of relevance to those on a LAN).

Thanks, Mike.

However.... I am thinking of upgrading to winXP Pro. Would this
re-introduce any missing wossnames with an upgrade over winME (I don't fancy
an install-from-cold)? I f I decide not to upgrade, I shall certainly be in
touch.

I got my 'new' option back, BTW, after downloading the registry patch! (I
can live without thumbnails for now, I suppose).

Its your choice of course entirely whether to repair part rather than all
of the problem. vbg

If you want to repair all of the damage caused by the nVidia installer you
only have to e-mail me. :-)

Whilst I cannot guarantee it I would expect that upgrading Win Me to XP
would probably fix the problem. Also I'm not aware of the nVidia
installer causing similar damage when used with XP although the key
removed is identical in both systems.
