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.

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.

Hey, thanks Bruce. I had the same problem and found your post after hours of searching and trying different ideas with nothing working; your temporary fix saved my butt.
