new folder option gone !

(1/9) > >>

micky:
I am running vista and when I right click a blank space to bring up the options in order to create a new folder. I then click 'NEW' and it says 'empty' and I am unable to create a new folder.
The same thing happens should I use the other option of clicking 'File' on the task bar.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.,, Im not pc savy

Shane:
Run the reg file inside the zip file I attached and then reboot and see if it comes back :wink:

Hi Shane,
Thanks for the help. I did as you suggested but to no avail. Then I did it again just to make sure I did it right. Still no joy.
Ive just noticed that I not only the New folder option is gone but all the other options too,, open new zip file, brief case etc, it just dawned on me as I was going to use it to open your zip file !
Ive got a feeling my problem stems from deleting google chrome. It may have taken needed files with it.
What a bummer as I use loads of new folders for my art work and photo images. Another bummer is that even system restore cant help as it has only saved 3 recent safe points.
Im just wondering if I save new folders from my lap top on a memory stick then re-download the to the effected pc would that get me out of a scape. who knows ! Not ideal but hey,,Im an artist we are all not right in the head  :undecided:

Shane:
The right menu "new" section is all stored in the registry. Windows 7 should have the same menu settings as vista but it may not, let me install vista in vmware real fast and get the regkeys for the right click menu and have you try it :-)

It might be that the UAC didnt allow you to import the regkey I gave you, do you have the UAC turned off?

micky:
Dont know what a UAC is Shane, however I did get a notice that your file had been added to the reg
