I can't create new folders.
I am running win 98/2nd edition. It seems to me I used to be able to right
click on my desktop or in a folder and have an option to create a new folder. Now it's gone! I can't create any new folders. What have I done? How can I undo it? I searched, but I only found one related post, and it was a different situation. I've also tried the Window's "help" but to no avail. Help!!!!!!!!!! Jesse |

Hi Jesse,
New Command Missing in Windows Explorer http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q180257/ If you are not comfortable editing the registry go to the site below and download "Restore new command" then run the script. http://aumha.org/regfiles.php#gui -- Regards, Bert Kinney [MS-MVP DTS] http://dts-l.org/ Knowpig wrote: I am running win 98/2nd edition.

Bert,
I am having the same issue, when I follow the directions you reference in MS 180257 and try to navigate to the registry key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\Con textMenuHandlers\New\ I do not have the \Background\ or \New\ subdirectories in that key. I hope I have made myself clear, I am quickly approaching my limit of technical capability. Any insight you can add would be greatly appreciated.

Running the registry file "Restore new command" as I suggested will
correct the registry entry. http://aumha.org/regfiles.php#gui -- Regards, Bert Kinney [MS-MVP DTS] http://dts-l.org/ markd123 wrote: Bert, I am having the same issue, when I follow the directions you reference in MS 180257 and try to navigate to the registry key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\Con textMenuHandlers\New\ I do not have the \Background\ or \New\ subdirectories in that key.

Bert, I feel like such a knuckle head. I searched to the best of my ability
and did not find the article you pointed out. I could not edit my registry, but the link for the download worked perfect. I work for a large GM dealer and automobiles are my area of expertise. If ever I can help you, please let me know. I owe you huge!!!!!!
