Solution for Windows 7 won't make a new folder

Hi, everyone. I would like to share a problem solution I found after my laptop with Windows 7 would no longer make a new folder. While I am certainly not an IT guy and this is a truck repair forum, I do like to pass on things I come across that make life easier. One day I tried to create a new file folder in documents and the new folder button failed to work.

If I right clicked on my start screen, the function dropbox came up, but the only options were for a new briefcase or a new zip folder.

I checked for a solution online, and found out how to run a system check with the Windows System File Checker tool from the command prompt, but that found nothing amiss.
use the System File Checker tool

Other possible solutions involved more work than I wanted to do, or the instructions were too opaque for me to follow. Finally I found a way to make a folder in Command Prompt and put it on my C drive, and that worked. Now if I need a new folder I can just copy it from C drive to a library.
cannot create a new folder in Windows 7 (the instructions are in the last post)

I guess my Operating System probably needs to be re installed, but I don't want to go through all that right now, and this little problem is not a great bother.

I hope this helps if somebody else runs into this issue. 

Display Navistar On Command (Isis) on Internet Explorer 10 with Windows 7.

            Hello everyone. This post deals with using Isis Master Service Information on Windows 7. I recently bought the 2012 version of Isis, also known as Navistar On Command. It uses the Internet Explorer browser to search and display content, so I loaded it on my diagnostic laptop where I keep IE as the default browser. I opened the program and it wouldn’t display content. I finally read the “read me first” folder in the installation file, and that said Isis will only display in IE 7 or 8! The problem is that Internet Explorer 8 loaded with Windows 7 is updated to IE10 on my laptop, and I am not willing to give up any of the security benefits undoubtedly included in later versions. I certainly didn’t want to use my older laptop with the XP system.  As an aside, I use Chrome for online work. I like Google products generally, and seem to get the best, most relevant search results on Chrome. I only use IE on my diagnostic machine in order to use Isis.

On Command will only display code, not content, in IE10

            Anyway, I wanted to find a workaround and finally did, although it does require a few extra keystrokes while using the program. It turns out that Explorer 10 includes access to earlier versions via the developer view. If you press F12, a window opens up at the bottom of the screen. It can be used to test HTML code in different versions of IE, but if an earlier version is selected, any new search material is also accessed with that version.

IE 10 includes a developer window by pressing F12

            So, to access On Command, open your browser, and press F12. The developer window will open at the bottom of the screen. In the middle of the top toolbar is a button for the browser mode. Click on it and a drop box will allow you to select IE8. Now minimize the screen and On Command will display content. Note that if you bring up a page from within On Command, you will again need to change the browser mode for the new page.

A popup will ask if you want to allow scripts. Click "allow"

On Command will now display content.

            Ok, so that is kind of clunky, but at least you can use the latest search engine and operating system for International service information.
