    Can not create a new folder
    « on: April 08, 2010, 10:32:02 AM »
    HI
     somehow I lost the ability to create a new folder when I right click or clicking on new folder in the tool bar in any program. It only happens when I'm logged on to my user if I use guest it works fine. Does anyone know how to get this back? Using windows 7. Thanks.

    It should work in Win 7.

        Thanks for the help. Found that my keyboard was the problem.

        Wait.
        I'm confused.
        How could the keyboard be the culprit when the problem was only happening in one user account?
        It only happens when I'm logged on to my user if I use guest it works fine.

        Can someone explain this?

          I have a wireless mouse and keyboard. After replacing the batteries in both the problem went away.
