Windows 7 "works" but can not create folder or rename files
FreeCat:
One more thought. I could not take ownership of C; it would not let me; however, I went on the C drive and took ownership of each individual folder. So that is what I meant by my answer. FWIW
Boggin:
Ultimate is Ultimate and is a higher version than Pro.
Did this come pre-installed or did you upgrade to Ultimate ?
I thought that 340 error code may have given me something to work on but Google hasn't come up with anything.
I'm not sure if I've already asked this but can you create new folders in Safe Mode ?
In that mode all 3rd party programs are isolated.
You can uninstall that IObit program as it's unwanted bundled software.
Boggin:
I've come across this article for resolving unable to create new folders, but as it involves changing the registry, I'm loathe ro recommend it without creating a restore point first that you could rely upon.
The alternative would be to create a system image onto external media and then give it a try.
Disregard using any registry cleaners as the article suggests.

I'm shoving off to do my evening meal now but will be back later.

Hi tom,
Safe mode does not allow creation of folder or text file, but the message is different: Can not find/load module.
Re article:
I disabled the antivirus - no change.
BTW, I can not create a restore point in Safe mode; but I can in normal mode.
There was a strange message when I did --- attached in next post.
I tried methods 4 in the Auslogistics message you cited. No change.
Then, I tried method 3 in the Auslogics message you cited; did this after 4 because it seemed more complicated. But, not able to execute reg script. See message in next post. I did iw one with the "Windows Registry editor ..." as the first line, but I got message "not a registry script" Then, I eliminated the first line and tried again. Same result. Not a registry script.
Boggin:
Just waiting for your next post.
Can you tell me how you got Win 7 Ultimate installed on your machine because if you have a valid retail key you can download your own ISO and create either a bootable disk or USB with which you can perform a repair install.
