| | How to Fix the New Folder Context Menu Item in Vista Information | | If when you right click on the desktop or in a User folder and click on New and Folder it does not work, then this will show you how to fix the Folder menu item so it will create a new folder again. |  | RELATED LINKS: EXAMPLE: New Folder in the Context Menu and a New Folder NOTE: You see this context menu only when you right click on a empty space on the desktop and in a nonsystem folder (Ex: C:\Users) Windows Explorer window. If you right on a empty space in a system folder (Ex: C:\Program Files, C:\Windows, etc...} Windows Explorer window, you will only see Folder in the New menu.  EXAMPLE: New Folder in the Organize Toolbar Button NOTE: This is the Organize toolbar button in Windows Explorer.  EXAMPLE: New Folder in the File Menu NOTE: This in the Windows Explorer Menu bar. It is not availale in the Computer window though. For more on the Menu bar, see: How to Enable or Disable the Menu Bar in Vista Here's How:1.

NOTE: If the problem still persists, then do a System Restore using a restore point dated before the problem. For how, see: How to Do a System Restore in Vista That's it,

Glad to hear it's working for you now.
What was causing the initial problem you were having on the other posts with this message:
"Cannot import.....
The Specified file is not a registry script.
You can only import binary files from the within the registry editor" ?

 | Re: New Folder I cannot thank you enough for this help! We bought Windows VISTA (couldn't find an alternative -UGH!) three months ago, and within TWO DAYS, my "New Folder" option had disappeared! This is a great program, and it works! But, quick question -do I have to remove it from my desktop? I'd rather burn it to CD, or leave it on desktop -if my VISTA decides to erase my "New Folders" file again! Thanks for your response ... and again, for a great tool! Pixie | My System Specs | |

Welcome to the forum.
You do not have to remove it if you do not want to. I just added the remove part as a reminder so it would not clutter up folk's desktops. You can do with it what you like.

 | Re: New Folder I get the same error. And the fix isn't working for me... anything else I can try? I get the error "File or Folder does not exist" when trying to rename a folder. I'm using Vista 32 bit Ultimate, and this is a fresh installation which is what I don't understand. I tried to the reg patch and still nothing...
Please help! | My System Specs | |

Welcome to the forum.
What is the name and location of the file that you are trying to rename? If it is a junction point system file, you will not be able to rename it. (EX: The hidden system file My Documents) These are not really real files, but more of a relay point to the actual file. You can read more on junction points here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa819663.aspx
