Can't create new folder in Me

TOAD6147 · February 25th, 2005, 07:42 PM

I noticed this a while ago but didn't pay much attention to it till tonight. What would be preventing me from doing this? I can not right click on the background and get "new" nor is it listed in the "file" drop-down menu. Also, if I'm saving a download and I want to create a new folder to save it to, the "create new folder" button does nothing. Thanks for the help.

This issue occurs only when you are saving to the desktop. Creating a new folder anywhere else works correctly.

Thanks for the lead Steve but this does not match my situation. I can't create a new folder anywhere.

nobnerd2,
The value was not present so I added it as recommended by the article but it didn't fix the problem. Thanks for the help though.

If you are not comfortable editing the registry, go to the site below,
download and run the"Restore New command" patch.

Thanks Chabiens and welcome to Techimo. I'll give it a try.
