I am using Vista 32 Business, and am experiencing problems creating new
folders via EXPLORER.EXE
If you open EXPLORER and open drive C, and position your mouse over some
white space in the file listing view, and slide down the pop-up menu to NEW,
the flyout for NEW simply shows a grayed out "(Empty)".
If you use the ORGANIZE button on the menu bar, and choose NEW FOLDER, no
folder is ever created.
I you use the FILE menu item on the "FILE EDIT VIEW TOOLS HELP" menu
bar, you can choose NEW, then a flyout menu appears, containing items such
as "Shortcut", "Bitmap image", "Contact", etc... but no "New Folder" item
exists.
Short of opening a command window and typing MKDIR, it's impossible to
create a new folder in Vista!
I browsed GOOGLE until I was tired, and found the following suggestions to
create .REG files, but they accomplish nothing...
------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\New]
@="{D969A300-E7FF-11d0-A93B-00A0C90F2719}"
------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.Folder]
@="Folder"
------------
What's going on here?
P.S. www.VistaX64.com is dead, so don't suggest visiting that site for some
solution.
