Re: New Folder

Muaiiufan,

As a test, temporarily disable your antivirus or other security programs to see if it they are interfering with the download. Where are you trying to save the file to?

Re: New Folder

I had already done that. No good. When the antivirus was turned on I had excluded scanning from the 3 different folders I was trying to save to. Excluded exe and zip files. Same result. I think something is wrong in the registry related to why I can not rename a new folder.

Re: New Folder

As another test, create a new administrator account to see if it works in that account. If so, then you can just copy of any user files that you want to keep. After everything checks out ok for a day or so to be sure, you can delete the old account from within the new one.

Re: New Folder

Well there had to have been some kind of windows update that fixed my ability to save the files cuz I can do that now. Installed both of the reg files (newfolderfix and fix rename 64 bit vista) and I still cant rename. This issue is all over the internet. 296,000 hits for can't rename folder in vista and some things work for some. Some do not.

Re: New Folder

Mauiiufan,

As a test, download and merge the folder download at the tutorial below to see if it may help. It restores the default folder associations.

Default File Type Associations - Restore

If not, see if running a sfc /scannow command may.

Re: New Folder

The extracted reg files are blank. Have not had time to do the second part yet.

Re: New Folder

What do you mean by blank??

It's a ZIP file for the folder .reg file in it.

Re: New Folder

When you extract the reg file, right click and choose edit, the file has no contents.

Re: New Folder

You would want to click on Merge instead.

Re: New Folder
