Re: New Folder

Hi,

The fix doesn't work for me. I still don't see "New ->Folder" in my right click menu.

Re: New Folder

Hi Dbacs,

It will not show up in the normal right click (context) menu, but only from right clicking on a empty area of the desktop or Windows Explorer window. Is it not there when you right click on the desktop?

Nope, not there when i right click anywhere.

If i right click on the empty desktop i only get the following:

View
Sort by
Refresh
Paste
Paste Shortcut
Undo
Personalize

Pretty much like that in every blank space i click in any folder, with the exception of "Customize".

Attached is a screen grab of what i see when i right click on an empty space on the desktop...
