    Can't create New Folders on Desktop

    Hi,

    When I right-click on the desktop or within the Documents Folder (or similar folders), I no longer have the option to create a "New Folder". When I choose the "New" option, it reads "empty". I saw someone had a similar problem on here and they were given a registry fix to download and merge, which I did, but it did not help me. When I am in the Documents Folder, I do have the "Organize" option and can do it from there, but that doesn't help me to create New Folders on the desktop.

    Thank you in advance for your time and any help you might be able to give me.

    I tried and it did find bad files, but it wouldn't let me read the text file either through the command prompt or through Windows folders.

    Thank you for trying.
