new folder option gone !

<< < (6/9) > >>

Boggin:
OK - if it was known when this first occurred (and not just found out) the restore points could resolve.

Micky, have you downloaded any programs recently or since you last used the new folder option ?

Shane:
Well lets double check that the registry keys we added are still there and something isnt removing it.

Open regedit and confirm that these are in the registry

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\New

On the right when you click on it you will see "Default" and it should have the value of {D969A300-E7FF-11d0-A93B-00A0C90F2719}

Next will be

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\ShellNew

Make sure that is there as well and it should have some values of
IconPath
and also
"ItemName"="@shell32.dll,-30396"
"MenuText"="@shell32.dll,-30317"
"NonLFNFileSpec"="@shell32.dll,-30319"

That not may have been when it happened but after checking the registry keys as Shane has just suggested, then trying a restore point prior to uninstalling Chrome may/not produce anything.

Off to roost.
