New Folder

Rounder,

Glad to hear you solved your problem. I checked out the file Folder rename fix Vista 32.zip (7.12K) you posted at the link, but it is not accessible unless your a member. Is there any way you can attach it to a post here. You can do this, as you probably know, by clicking on the paperclip icon, in either Quote or Go Advanced, when typing a post. Perhaps I can adapt it to work for both the 32 and 64 bit Vista.

Thank you,
Shawn

well, I'm having a hard time in renaming a "new folder"
every single word or letter I type in does not appear, the dialogue box said "the file or folder does not exist"..
pls help me
thanks

Hi aphrodisiac,

Welcome to Vista Forums.

Give this a try to see if it will help you.

1. Open the Control Panel (Classic View).
2. Click on the Offline Files icon.
3. Click on the Disable Offline Files button.
NOTE: If it says Enable Offline Files instead, then click on it and click Apply and then click Disable Offline Files.
4. Click OK.
5. Restart the computer.

Hi Shawn,
I appreciate your reply, but the thing is I can't find or let me say I don't see Offline files icon in Control panel. thanks for the BIG help...

aphrodisiac,

Sorry, I just noticed that your version does not have Offline Files in the Control Panel.

Give this reg file a try from:

Unable to rename folders - TechNet Forums

It looks promising. I checked the file out and the contents looks safe. You may need to restart afterwards to apply it.

FD32.reg < Click to Download

1. Click on Save, and save the .reg file to the Desktop.
2. Right click the .reg (On Desktop) file and click Merge.
3. Click on the Run button for Security Warning pop-up.
4. Click on Continue (UAC), Yes, and then OK when prompted.
5. When done, you can delete the .reg file (On Desktop).

Hope this helps,
Shawn

...thanks so much Brink.....that solved the problem! :-)

Your welcome lvmadhatter.

Hello Shawn,
I've done what you suggested but still have the problem with creating a new folder. The sub-menu is empty. I asked for help technicians from hp but it didn't work as well. May be you can suggest something else?
Thank you.

Hi ISE, welcome to Vista x64 Forums.

Since this will not work for you, try do a System Restore using a restore point dated before this problem started.

If that still does not help, then you can do a Repair install.
