Hi

When I right-click on the desktop or within the Documents Folder (o
similar folders), I no longer have the option to create a "New Folder"
When I choose the "New" option, it reads "empty". I saw someone had
similar problem on here and they were given a registry fix to downloa
and merge, which I did, but it did not help me. When I am in th
Documents Folder, I do have the "Organize" option and can do it fro
there, but that doesn't help me to create New Folders on the desktop

Thank you in advance for your time and any help you might be able t
give me

Meliss

I tried and it did find bad files, but it wouldn't let me read the tex
file either through the command prompt or through Windows folders

Thank you for trying

Are you on a network? If it's an Active Directory domain, perhaps the
admin has restricted that feature?
