| Guest | "FILE OR FOLDER DOES NOT EXIST" I have seen several different people with this problem, so I am not the only one. I am running Windows Vista Ultimate, and everything was working fine, until one day I went to reorganize my music, and when I tried creating a new folder, it wouldn't let me rename it. "File or folder does not exist" pops up. This is quite frustrating, I have tried everyone's suggestions. They all fail. If anyone has found a way to fix this annoyance, that would be fantastic. p.s. I miss XP |

| Guest | Re: "FILE OR FOLDER DOES NOT EXIST" Where were you trying to create this folder? You can't create a folder in, or use the "My Music", "My documents", etc, as these aren't really folders. Use the Music folder under your login account, or under the Public account (if you want to share the music) "PeeTree" <PeeTree@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:1596D329-C008-4DD5-8AC9-70187DC3C14D@xxxxxx
